POSIX 1.c Migration Guide

Mapping Between Standards

Mapping Standards

This appendix correlates sections in the POSIX.4a Draft 4 and POSIX.1 1996 (ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996) specifications. Since POSIX.1c is included in the POSIX.1 1996 standard, the sections and some of their contents are organized differently from those in POSIX.4a Draft 4.
