ISBN 1-56592-074-0 for $29.95 from my friendly Barnes & Noble. "Programming for the Real World POSIX.4" by Bill O.

Gallmeister, > O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 1995 "Programming for the Real World POSIX.4" is a *description* of the POSIX.4 (now called 1003.1b) standard; it's not the standard itself. Also, it doesn't cover POSIX 1003.4a (now 1003.1c), which is what the original poster was asking about. (POSIX.4, aka 1003.1b-1993, is real-time extensions; POSIX.4a, aka 1003.1c-1994, is threads extensions. Reference: "Programming for the Real World POSIX.4", page 6.) There's another O'Reilly book called Pthreads Programming, ISBN 1-56592-115-1, by Bradford Nichols, Dick Buttlar, and Jacqueline Proulx Farrel, that covers POSIX threads. It's more of a tutorial than a description of the standard. You should be able to get the standards themselves from IEEE for lots of money; see <http://www.ieee.org>. As for CIFO, I believe it was published in Ada Letters a few years ago. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst@cts.com <*> ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H San Diego, California, USA "Simba, you have forgotten me.

As Keith points out the real thing is: "9945-1 : 1996 (ISO/IEC) [IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1, 1996 Edition] Information Technology--Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX�) --Part 1: System Application: Program Interface (API) [C Language] This NEW edition incorporates extensions for realtime applications (1003.1b-1993, 1003.1i-1995) and threads (1003.1c-1995). 784 pages [1-55937-573-6] [SH94352-NYF] $120.00 * IEEE Mbr: $84.00" >You should be able to get the standards themselves from IEEE for lots >of money; see <http://www.ieee.org>. Thanks Keith! That is very useful, esp the page: http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/interp/1003-1c-95_int/index.html which has interpretations that you are allowed to make one printed copy of and use at your own risk (non-official). _____________________________________________________________________ Robert S.

I can only presume that none of them were run through Lint or any other static checker, and that many of them never saw a compiler either. -- John �neas Byron O'Keefe; 1921/02/04-1997/09/27; TLG,TLTA,BBTNOTL.
