Is splice a part of POSIX?

I can only use POSIX standard library functions. I want to use splice function. Is it POSIX or not? How can I find out?

Solution

  • You can check man-pages:

    $ man splice

    It says:

    CONFORMING TO
       This system call is Linux-specific.

    So it is not in POSIX.
