It includes definitions for numerous functions, symbolic constants, and types. Among these are: +o The implementation-defined NULL pointer constant. +o Types such as size_t, ssize_t, pid_t, and intptr_t. +o Various limits and other symbolic constants described in pathconf(2) and sysconf(3). +o Prototypes for several important system calls and library rou- tines such as chown(2), dup(2), execl(3), fork(2), pipe(2), rmdir(2), setuid(2), and write(2). +o The symbolic constant _POSIX_VERSION that defines the version of the POSIX standard to which the implementation conforms. +o Various other _POSIX -prefixed symbolic constants that indicate whether the system implements some optional part of the stan- dard. Examples include such constants as _POSIX_IPV6 for inet6(4) functionality and _POSIX_ASYNCHRONOUS_IO for aio(3).
