LABEL FOR LOGO

No label.

DESCRIPTION

This Product Standard covers the formal standards and specifications for which a COE Platform should be demonstrated as being in conformance. An application executing on a conforming COE Platform implementation shall have simultaneous access to all services associated with these standards.

CONFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

A COE Platform implementation shall be in conformance with the following specifications and requirements.

Human-Computer Interface

• ISO/IEC 9945:2003, Information Technology - Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) - Part 1: Base Definitions and Part 3: Shell and Utilities

  The following options shall be supported on a conformant system:

  • The User Portability Utilities Option (POSIX2_UPE, ISO/IEC 9945-1:2003, Base Definitions, Section 2.1.6.2, Shell and Utilities)

  • The Full Terminal Operations Option (POSIX2_CHAR_TERM, ISO/IEC 9945-1:2003, Base Definitions, Section 2.1.6.2, Shell and Utilities)

  • The XSI Shell and Utilities Option (ISO/IEC 9945-1:2003, Base Definitions, Section 2.1.4.2, XSI Shell and Utilities Conformance)

  If the system supports software development, then the following options are also required:

  • The Software Development Utilities Option (POSIX2_SW_DEV, ISO/IEC 9945-1:2003, Base Definitions, Section 2.1.6.2, Shell and Utilities)

  • The C-Language Development Utilities Option (POSIX2_C_DEV, ISO/IEC 9945-1:2003, Base Definitions, Section 2.1.6.2, Shell and Utilities)

• CAE Specification, April 1995, Common Desktop Environment (XCDE): Services and Applications (ISBN: 1-85912-074-1, C323), published by The Open Group

• CAE Specification, April 1995, Common Desktop Environment (XCDE): Definitions and Infrastructure (ISBN: 1-85912-070-9, C324), published by The Open Group

The following general requirements shall apply:

• The system shall establish global settings for the XFONTSDIR , XAPPLRESDIR , and XENVIRONMENT environment variables.

• The system shall include an HTML browser that supports HTML 3.2. The system browser shall strictly comply with the COE User Interface Specifications¹ for web applications.

• The system browser shall strictly comply with the COE User Interface Specifications, and support the features provided to disadvantaged users from the COE User Interface Specifications.

• The system shall include documentation including manual pages, help files, or HTML-format pages for distribution with the COE Developer's Toolkit.

Portability Interface

• Operating System API

  • ISO/IEC 9945:2003, Information Technology - Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) - Part 1: Base Definitions and Part 2: System Interfaces

  • Implementations are required to support, and Strictly Conforming COE Platform Applications shall only depend on, the presence of the mandatory options described in ISO/IEC 9945-1:2003, Base Definitions, Section 2.1.4, XSI Conformance.

• Communications Service API

  • ISO/IEC 9945:2003, Part 2: System Interfaces, Section 2.10, Sockets and Chapter 3, System Interfaces (Sockets Interfaces and IP Address Resolution Interfaces)

  • ISO/IEC 9945:2003, Part 1: Base Definitions, Chapter 13, Headers (Sockets Headers and IP Address Resolution Headers)

• Human-Computer Interaction API

  • CAE Specification, May 1995, Window Management (X11R5): X Lib - C Language Binding (ISBN: 1-85912-088-1, C508), published by The Open Group

  • CAE Specification, May 1995, Window Management (X11R5): X Toolkit Intrinsics (ISBN: 1-85912-089-X, C509), published by The Open Group

Programming Language Environment

Not applicable.

Interoperability

A COE Platform implementation shall be in conformance with the Communications Service Interface specifications and meet the requirements listed in the UNIX 03 Server Product Standard.² In addition:

• The system may support the Network Information Service (NIS+) protocol. If the system supports NIS+, the system shall be configured to use NIS+.

• If the system does not support the DNS or NIS+ protocols, the system shall not be affected by the protocol's environmental presence.

OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Not applicable.

PORTABILITY ENVIRONMENT

Not applicable.

OVERRIDING STANDARDS
