First of all, POSIX is also IEEE and ISO/IEC standard for an operating system (including command line utilities), thus it has some weight on it. GNU/Linux seems to be also very closely following it. At leas on my experience it gives fairly good portability to Solaris and BSDs. And also to large extent to OS X. In addition, various embedded RT-OSs support it. > feature set anymore, but to one that does only exist as an idea, as > the least common denominator of a few OSes that are already quite aged > these days. Also, at an ironic side note, your own I would like to remind that there's a new IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 which included all kinds of new things which some seem to be originating from Linux and some new things which need(ed) some support to be implemented on Linux (mainly seems to be aio_*() stuff). This standard is pretty comprehensive.
