+
+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.
+
+@item Open Group Single UNIX Specification.
+
+@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 the functionality it supplies.
+
+This manual is still under construction and improvements
+are welcomed from users.
