>      eCos contains support for the POSIX Specification (ISO&#0047;IEC
      9945-1)&#0091;POSIX&#0093;.
    </P
><P
>      POSIX support is divided between the POSIX and the FILEIO
      packages. The POSIX package provides support for threads,
      signals, synchronization, timers and message queues. The FILEIO
      package provides support for file and device I&#0047;O. The two
      packages may be used together or separately, depending on
      configuration.
    </P
><P
>      This document takes a functional approach to the POSIX
      library. Support for a function implies that the data types and
      definitions necessary to support that function, and the objects
      it manipulates, are also defined. Any exceptions to this are
      noted, and unless otherwise noted, implemented functions behave
      as specified in the POSIX standard.
    </P
><P
>      This document only covers the differences between the eCos
      implementation and the standard; it does not provide complete
      documentation. For full information, see the POSIX standard
      &#0091;POSIX&#0093;. Online, the Open Group Single Unix
      Specification &#0091;SUS2&#0093; provides complete documentation
      of a superset of POSIX. If you have access to a Unix system with
      POSIX compatibility, then the manual pages for this will be of
      use.  There are also a number of books available.
      &#0091;Lewine&#0093; covers the process, signal, file and I&#0047;O
      functions, while &#0091;Lewis1&#0093;, &#0091;Lewis2&#0093;,
      &#0091;Nichols&#0093; and &#0091;Norton&#0093; cover Pthreads and
      related topics (see Bibliography, xref). However, many of these
      books are oriented toward using POSIX in non-embedded systems,
      so care should be taken in applying them to programming under
      eCos.
    </P
><P
>      The remainder of this chapter broadly follows the structure
      of the POSIX Specification. References to the appropriate
      section of the Standard are included.
    </P
><P
>      Omitted functions marked with &#8220;&#0047;&#0047; TBA&#8221;
      are potential candidates for later implementation.
