.B POSIX.1-200x, SUSv4
Work is currently in progress on the next revision of POSIX.1/SUS.
The balloting on the revision is expected to be complete in 2008,
so that the revision is likely to be named POSIX.1-2008.
The revision is less far reaching than that that took place
for POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3, but a number of new interfaces are added
and various details of existing specifications are modified.
Many of the interfaces that were optional in
POSIX.1-2001 become mandatory in the next revision of the standard.
The revised standard is broken into the same four parts as POSIX.1-2001,
and again there are two levels of conformance: the baseline
.IR "POSIX Conformance" ,
and
.IR "XSI Conformance" ,
which mandates an additional set of interfaces
beyond those in the base specification.
