I have not ever studied POSIX academically (curricularly) but:
> a small set of minimalistic APIs that remain stable over time
but from what I've gathered (over years, by 'osmosis'). Isn't this the essential idea behind POSIX?
- maxime_cb 4y agoYes, but POSIX doesn't provide APIs for graphics or audio, for example, even though these things are necessary to build a lot of end-user software.
