POSIX documentation in the BS2000 environment
In BS2000, the functions of the software products are extended so that you can also use the POSIX functionality with these products.
Access to the POSIX file system is possible through a range of utility routines. For example, you can process files in the POSIX file system using EDT.
By extending the CRTE in accordance with the XPG4 standard, you can write portable
C programs with V2.2A C library functions irrespective of the operating system being used.
The present manual, “POSIX - Basics for Users and System Administrators”, is required as a basis for accessing POSIX functionality from other software products.
