All in all, SUSv3 specifies 1742 interfaces. Note that a system need not include source code derived in any way from AT&T Unix to meet the specification.
A trademark UNIX V7 (not to be confused with V7 UNIX, the version of Research Unix from 1979) has been created to mark compliance with SUS Version 4. ====2016 Edition==== The Technical Corrigendum 2 has been published in September 2016, leading into IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, 2016 Edition and Single UNIX Specification, Version 4, 2016 Edition. ====2018 Edition==== In January 2018 an "administrative rollup" edition, susv4-2018, was released.
Unix was selected as the basis for a standard system interface partly because it was manufacturer-neutral. ===1988: POSIX=== In 1988, these standards became IEEE 1003 (also registered as ISO/IEC 9945), or POSIX, which loosely stands for Portable Operating System Interface. ===1990s: Spec 1170=== In the early 1990s, a separate effort known as the Common API Specification or Spec 1170 was initiated by several major vendors, who formed the COSE alliance in the wake of the Unix wars.

Management over these specifications was assigned to X/Open who also received the Unix trademark from Novell in 1993.
It was released on January 30, 2002. This standard consisted of: the Base Definitions, Issue 6, the System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 6, the Commands and Utilities, Issue 6, and is at the core of the UNIX 03 brand. ===2004: POSIX:2004=== In 2004, a new edition of the POSIX:2001 standard was released, incorporating two technical corrigenda.

The first version registered was Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, certified on October 26, 2007 (on x86 systems).
It is called POSIX:2004 (formally: IEEE Std 1003.1-2004). ===2008: Single UNIX Specification version 4, POSIX:2008=== In December 2008, the Austin Group published a new major revision, known as POSIX:2008 (formally: IEEE Std 1003.1-2008).
It was published in 2012 for the Unix Base specification and it is registered as the 2013 Edition of POSIX 2008.

It incorporates Single UNIX Specification version 4 TC1 and TC2, and is technically identical to the 2016 edition. ==Specification== SUSv3 totals some 3700 pages, which are divided into four main parts: Base Definitions (XBD) - a list of definitions and conventions used in the specifications and a list of C header files which must be provided by compliant systems.
