POSIX Threads Programming
POSIX Threads Programming
POSIX threads, based on the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c-1995 (also called the ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996) standard, are most common on Unix and Unix-like systems.
Much like Open Source software, all POSIX standards are copyrighted (by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., IEEE; new versions have joint copyright by IEEE and Open Group), but available for use by software developers anywhere in the world for free. Thus the OS architecture based on POSIX is an open architecture that invites and welcomes cloning and interoperability.
