The most recent publication of POSIX.1 , is
IEEE Std 1003.1-1996 (which contains IEEE Std 1003.1-1990,
plus the amendments 1003.1b-1993 (Realtime), 1003.1c-1995 (Threads)
1003.1i-1995 (Realtime corrigenda)).

The SUS V2 is aligned with POSIX.1-1996, ISO C MSE etc, whereas
the SUS V1 was aligned with the POSIX.1-1990 and a draft of the
ISO C MSE.
A feature matrix showing the correspondence between the SUS
and other standards is online at URL
