No problem! It wasn't that long ago that I wondered what POSIX was.
The DJGPP libc documentation does note what functions are from POSIX. For
instance, try:
info libc alpha fork
OK, this is a bad example, because DJGPP doesn't support fork(), but you
can see that 'POSIX' is noted in the portability section. Aha, this is
better:
info libc alpha read
I hope to go through the Unix98 docs sometime and add Unix98 comments to
the portability section of the info docs. They might have reached Unix2001
by the time I get round to it though ;)
HTH, bye,
