Is there any Standard/Non Standard IO for UNIX/LINUX ?
UNIX is different, Linux is different then Why linux (RHEL/CENTOS) is using STANDARD UNIX IO ?
If my question is immature , please dont mud it.
I suspect you are referring to "stdio.h" facility for programming, but can't be sure as the term "STANDARD UNIX IO" doesn't make any sense.
Linux is based on standards - and the only standard commonly accepted has been POSIX, and Linux follows that, though not everything in Linux does.
Using POSIX DOES mean that programs that run on UNIX systems will USUALLY run on Linux just by recompiling. I say USUALLY because there are a lot of UNIX programs that use proprietary libraries in addition. These will not recompile/run on Linux UNLESS the proprietary libraries exist on Linux or a functional equivalent is available on Linux.
I don't want to look like the bad guy, but, I'm finding it rather .... that someone cannot understand that IO in the sentance Standard Unix IO -- consider the contents people he/she meant to say I/O --
do you say I Backslash O when you talk about it to someone?
when you say "how to use IO on shell" what do you mean by shell? nut shell, walnut maybe? like in, "I couldn't get my shell open so I went all IO on it"?
I meant bash or any other shell. Why is this an issue ?

Don't be a brat.
Instead of attacking everyone else in the thread, if you think the question is so clear, then how about you answer it? Even if he does mean I/O, the question is still vague and ambiguous, and I see no issue with people asking for clarification.

I already did (give my answer), then people seemed to have forgotten about the spoken word and common sense.
when someone comes up to you and says what is UNIX IO or what is IO when when you know the contents is about computer or programming what is your immediate thought? Input/outPut or somthing else that uses the letters IO?
