Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), is a set of IEEE standards that defines an interface between programs and operating systems for maintaining compatibility. By designing their programs to conform to POSIX, developers have some assurance that their software can be easily ported to POSIX-compliant operating systems. This includes most varieties of UNIX. POSIX also defines the command line shells and utility interfaces, for software compatibility with variants of Unix and other operating systems.
