Full Description

Scope

This document is part of the POSIX series of standards for applications and user interfaces to open systems. It defines the Ada language bindings as package specifications and accompanying textual descriptions of the applications program interface (API). This standard supports application portability at the source code level through the binding between ISO 8652:1995 (Ada) and ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1990 (POSIX), as amended by IEEE Draft Std 1003.1g. This standard covers the Detailed Network Interface (DNI) for the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) and BSD sockets.

Purpose

No standard currently specifies an Ada language binding for POSIX.1g, although there is significant demand for one. This project will provide such a standard.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Inactive - Withdrawn.This standard is part of the POSIX series of standards or applications and user inter-faces to open systems.It defines the Ada language bindings as package specifications and accompanying textual descriptions of the application program interface (API).This standard supports application portability at the source code level through the binding between ISO 8652:1995 (Ada)and ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1996)(POSIX)as amended by IEEE P1003.1g/D6.6.Terminology and general requirements,process primitives,the process environment,files and directories,input and output primaries,device-and class- specific unctions,language-specific services or Ada,system databases,synchronization,memory management,execution scheduling,clocks and timers,message passing,task management,the XTI and socket detailed network inter-faces,event management,network support functions,and protocol-specific mappings are covered It also specifies behavior to support the binding that must be proviced by the Ada.
