What is POSIX?
The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is an IEEE standard that helps compatibility and portability between operating systems. Theoretically, POSIX-compliant source code should be seamlessly portable. In the real world, application transition often runs into system-specific issues. But POSIX compliance makes it simpler to port applications which can result in time savings.[1]
