POSIX defines both the system- and the user-level APIs with one remark: using POSIX, the programmer doesn’t need to distinguish between system calls and library functions.

The POSIX API is frequently used in the C programming language. Thus, it is compilable with C++. Additional functions are provided to the system call interface in a few important areas of system programming: file operations, memory management, process and thread control, networking and communications, and regular expressions – as you can see, it pretty much covers everything that the already existing...
