Porting Wrappers 6.0.8, the 9th release of the Porting Wrappers for
MPE/iX release 6.0, is a set of additional functions and commands
useful in porting applications to the HP e3000. This package contains
both POSIX and UNIX functions currently missing in MPE and used in our
ports of Apache, Java, etc. to MPE. The plan is to move these wrappers
into MPE in the future.

Additional resources
The excellent book
Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
by W. Richard Stevens (Addison-Wesley, 1992) contains many source code
examples, some of which are used as the test programs for some of the
Wrappers. The directory util/apue in the Porting Wrappers contains
his main header file and library of utility functions used in his code
examples, for example, in error reporting.
For an introduction, check out the
Programming and POSIX
seminar presented at Solutions Symposium 2000.
The book
POSIX Programmer's Guide
by Donald Lewine (O'Reilly, 1991) may also be useful.
The book "The POSIX.1 Standard - A Programmer's Guide" by Fred Zlotnick
(Benjamin/Cummings, 1991) appears to be out of print.
The POSIX Standard
from IEEE contains very detailed specifications of every POSIX function.
