POSIX
(redirected from Linux API)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

POSIX

ANSI standard, developed to describe how the programming interfaces and other features of Unix worked, in order to remove control from the developers, AT&T Bell Laboratories. Subsequently many other (proprietary) operating systems were modified in order to become POSIX-compliant, that is, they provide an open systems interface, so that they can communicate with other POSIX-compliant systems, even though the operating systems themselves are internally quite different. See also open systems interconnection.
