+
+This is the User's Guide for the POSIX API support
+provided in RTEMS.
+
+The functionality described in this document is based
+on the following standards:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item POSIX 1003.1b-1993.
+
+@item POSIX 1003.1h/D3.
+
+@end itemize
+
+Much of the POSIX API standard is actually implemented in the
+Cygnus Newlib ANSI C Library. Please refer to documentation on
+Newlib for more information on what it supplies.
+
+At this point, this is just beginning to become what it
+ultimately should be.
