+POSIX.1-2001, SUSv3
+The 2001 revision and consolidation of the POSIX.1 and SUS standards
+into a single document, conducted under the auspices of the Austin group
+(http://www.opengroup.org/austin/ .)  
+The standard is available online at 
+http://www.unix-systems.org/version3/ , 
+and the interfaces that it describes are also available in the Linux 
+manual pages package under sections 1p and 3p (e.g., "man 3p open").
+The standard defines two levels of conformance: 
+.IR "POSIX conformance" ,
+which is a baseline set of interfaces required of a conforming system; 
+and
+.IR "XSI Conformance", 
+which additionally mandates a set of interfaces
+(the "XSI extension") which are only optional for POSIX conformance.  
+XSI-conformant systems can be branded
+.IR "UNIX 03" .
+Two Technical Corrigenda (minor fixes and improvements) 
+of the original 2001 standard have occurred:
+TC1 in 2003, and TC2 in 2004.
