  • POSIX.1-2008 is not version 4 but rather ISSUE 7 of the standard. Commented Jun 7, 2018 at 12:30
  • @schily Did I choose badly where to end the second quote? To me, both source and quote seem to clearly relate 'version 4' to SUS, not POSIX. Commented Jun 7, 2018 at 15:32

    The term "issue 7" applies to Opengroup. See: pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799 I may have been confused. So I guess that UNIX95 is SUSv1, UNIX98 is SUSv2, POSIX.1-2001 is SUSv3 and POSIX.1-2008 is SUSv4 Commented Jun 7, 2018 at 15:36
  • @schily Right, see the Wikipedia page where the source of the quote goes on to mention issue 7. Commented Jun 7, 2018 at 17:19
