What is POSIX? I have read the Wikipedia article and I read it every time I encounter the term. The fact is that I never really understood what it is.

Can anyone please explain it to me by explaining "the need for POSIX" too?

GNU/Linux and *BSD family (FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD) are 'unix-like' OS, they behave like Unix. – aderchox
