4 X/OPEN

Another attempt to achieve portable programs is that of the X/OPEN group. The X/OPEN portability guide is a similar document to the POSIX standard and is also based on the C run time library. The routines defined in the X/OPEN portability guide tend to be of a higher level than those in the POSIX standard and where appropriate, PSX equivalents for X/OPEN routines will also be provided.
