Ada Programming/Platform/POSIX
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
POSIX.5 is an IEEE (IEEE Standard 1003.5b-1996) and ISO (ISO/IEC 14519:2001) standard defining an Ada interface to the POSIX system calls.
The scope for the standard is the same than in POSIX.1 (C API) but defines a thick binding for the interface thus benefiting from Ada features. Some functionality provided by POSIX.1, but already present in Ada, is skipped. The ISO standard is currently being revised [1] [2].
There exists an open-source implementation for GNAT called Florist (Florida State University/Forest) originally written by the Florida State University and eventually maintained by AdaCore.
An incomplete implementation for Windows and GNAT is called Win32POSIX.
