POSIX?
Is that portable for non-unix? I think cabal does work on some non-unix systems.
Even windows provides POSIX, it's _the_ C standard. If you are going to find a common set of C functions, that'll be it. Don't expect windows to have a fifo or block file type, though.
Sorry, but the standard libraries defined by all the C standards are just a small subset of POSIX. If you want to be portable beyond POSIX compliant systems, you've to stick to something like C99.
