Information technology — POSIX Ada Language Interfaces — Binding for System Application Program Interface (API)

Abstract: This standard is part of the POSIX ® series of standards for applications and user inter-faces to open systems. It defines the Ada language bindings as package specifications and accompanying textual descriptions of the application program interface (API). This standard supports application portability at the source code level through the binding between ISO 8652:1995 (Ada) and ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1996) (POSIX) as amended by IEEE P1003.1g/D6.6. Terminology and general requirements, process primitives, the process environment, files and directories, input and output primaries, device- and classspecific functions, language-specific services for Ada, system databases, synchronization, memory management, execution scheduling, clocks and timers, message passing, task management, the XTI and socket detailed network inter-faces, event management, network support functions, and protocol-specific mappings are covered. It also specifies behavior to support the binding that must be provided by the Ada.

International Standard ISO/IEC 14519:2001(E)
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO/IEC 14519 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
technology, Subcommittee SC 22, Programming languages, their environments and system software interfaces.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 14519:1999), which has been technically
revised.
Annex D forms a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes A, B and C are for information only.

IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Com-
mittees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. Members of the committees serve
voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards
developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as
well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in participating in the development of
the standard.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there
are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to
the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and
issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments
received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for
revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is rea-
sonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of
the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership
affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of
text, together with appropriate supporting comments.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they
relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the
Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of
all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a
balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating
Committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where
the matter has previously received formal consideration.
Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

Note: Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may
require use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard,
no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in
connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying patents for
which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries into
the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.

IEEE Std 1003.5c-1998
Introduction
(This introduction is not a part of IEEE Std 1003.5c-1998, IEEE Standard for Information Technology
R
– POSIX Ada Language Interfaces – Part 1: Binding for System Application Program Interface (API)
– Amendment 2: Protocol-Independent Interfaces, but is included for information only.)
c
This standard is an amended version of IEEE Std 1003.5b-1996. The basic goal of
c
this standard is to provide an Ada application program interface for the language-
independent services made accessible to C-language applications programs by the
interfaces defined in ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1996) f2g as amended
by IEEE P1003.1g fB14g.
c
The intent is to support portability of Ada applications via a standard binding to
the services provided by a POSIX-conforming operating system. POSIX is defined
by the standard C-language interfaces cited above. Therefore, much of the work in
producing this standard was deciding what features of those C-language interfaces
represented POSIX functionality, as opposed to C-language-specific features.
This standard provides package specifications and accompanying textual description
for a set of Ada packages that represent the POSIX system. This standard also spec-
ifies behavior to support the binding that must be provided by the Ada compilation
system, and further defines behavior specified as implementation defined in the Ada
language standard (particularly in the area ofText_IO) for use in a POSIX environ-
ment.
The emphasis in POSIX is on application program portability, so the interfaces in this
standard are not intended to be sufficient to implement an Ada compilation system
or a POSIX shell as defined in IEEE Standard 1003.2 fB16g. For an application,
the intent is that a Strictly Conforming POSIX.5 Application (one that uses only
the facilities in this standard and that does not depend on implementation-defined
behavior) can be ported to any Conforming Implementation of these interfaces and
that the binding makes it easy to identify where a program is not strictly conforming
and makes such programs easier to port.
Organization of This Standard
The standard is divided into three parts:
— Statement of scope, list of normative references, and conformance information
(Section 1)
— Definitions and global concepts (Section 2)
— The various interface facilities (Sections 3 through 19)
The content of the sections parallels that of the correspondingly numbered sections
of ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 and IEEE P1003.1g/D6.6, with a few changes required to
accomodate differences between the Ada and C-language interfaces.This standard
c

PART 1: BINDING FOR SYSTEM APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE (API) IEEE Std 1003.5c-1998
has no Section 10, since there is no Ada binding for that Section 10 (Data Interchange
Formats) of ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996.
This introduction, any footnotes, notes accompanying the text, and the informative
annexes are not considered part of this standard.
Related Standards Activities
Activities to extend this standard to address additional requirements can be antici-
1)
pated in the future .
Extensions are approved as amendments or revisions to this standard, following
IEEE and ISO/IEC procedures.
Anyone interested in participating in the PASC working groups addressing these
issues should send his or her name, address, and phone number to the Secretary,
IEEE Standards Board, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., P.O.
Box 1331, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, USA, and ask to have this
information forwarded to the chair of the appropriate PASC working group. A per-
son who is interested in participating in this work at the international level should
contact his or her ISO/IEC national body.
