This standard will provide a single, recommended method to allow portable C++ applications to make use of the POSIX standard interfaces, which will help to discourage the currently diverging practices in the industry which lead to poor design choices, inefficiencies, and incompatibilities. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/posix-c++-wg -- Andriy Gapon
