-title: POSIX API for ISLisp

-author: Darren Bane

-copyright: 2021 Darren Bane, CC BY_SA

-# Abstract

-

-A mapping from Scheme's SRFI-170, "POSIX API", to ISLisp is defined.

-

-# Introduction

-

-Although they are similar, Scheme and ISLisp are not the same language. This document adapts the standard Scheme POSIX interface to ISLisp accounting for:

-

-* Different naming conventions (e.g. `predicatep` rather than `predicate?`)

-* Historical practice, in particular compatibility with OpenLisp (the only commercial implementation) is prioritised

-

-# Dependencies

-

-SRFI-170 depends on at least part of several other SRFIs, in particular:

-

-* SRFI-19, "Time Data Types and Procedures"

-* SRFI-106, "Networking operations"

-* SRFI-158, "Generators and Accumulators"

-

-SRFI-39, "Parameter objects", is superseded by ISLisp's dynamic variables.

-

-Only SRFI-106 is implemented fully; the subset of required symbols is taken from the others.

-

-# Mapping

-

-Any symbols not mentioned in the following are unchanged from SRFI-170.
