the difference between posix user and c user

[bin.wang at qkmtech.com]

i google the posix .now i know that posix is the abbreviation of "the Portable Operating System Interface" it is for software compatibility with variants of Unix and other operating systems

but you said, "POSIX and the Classic API are both C APIs."
than i think the posix is packaged on the basis of the standard C, is it right ?
the classic api is the standard c interface , is it right?

best wishes

This is a good question and it is understandable why you do not understand the
difference. The reason is specific to RTEMS and relates to it's history.
 
The original RTEMS was written in Ada and C and the C API is what we now call
the Classic API. It's manual was called the C User Guide hence the name.
 
The Ada version of RTEMS was removed from the source tree and POSIX came a while
later.
 
POSIX and the Classic API are both C APIs. The C User manual is now called the
RTEMS Classic API Guide. See:
