Ada/POSIX binding standard:

  IEEE Std 1003.5b-1996 Standard for Information Technology--POSIX
  Ada Language Interfaces--Part 1: Binding for System Applications
  Program Interface (API), 550 pages, ISBN 1-55937-758-5,
  US$ 112 (for IEEE members), order code SH94432-NYF.

The POSIX standard itself:

  ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996, Information Technology--Portable Operating
  System Interface (POSIX)--Part 1: System Application: Program
  Interface (API) [C Language], 784 pages, ISBN 1-55937-573-6,
  US$ 84 (for IEEE members), order code SH94352-NYF.

I guess, both of these are essential for anyone developing Ada
software for Unix.
