Linux POSIX System Capabilities

This section explains how to determine if various parts of POSIX are supported by your system. The easiest way to do this is to look at /usr/include/unistd.h on the system. This file will define the _POSIX_SOURCE versions. It may include other header files which include POSIX definitions. One that you should look at is /usr/include/bits/posix_opt.h which should have most of the POSIX definitions. All the below parameters are listed there. However, the most sure way is to run the below program. This is because the /usr/include/inistd.h file may not be the only one available and it may not be used by your system. Also you need to be aware your kernel may not support all the listed functions. It will depend on the library used to compile it and the options used at the compile time. The kernel will have a great affect on the support of POSIX.4 functions since it controls memory allocation and processes, including the signals between them.

The Test Program

The program listing below will output values based on what your system supports. I call it "posixtst.c". This is a tar and gz version of the source and binary program with a small README file with install instructions. posixtst-1.0.0
