    Lol, nice.

    SUS is “Single Unix Specification” or “Single Unix System,” I can’t remember which (I think the former). It’s the name of the certification that MacOS actually has.

    I do have to say, I didn’t realize that they were close enough as to be co-portable. That’s really interesting.

      Well, I don’t know the details about portability, but there are a couple of pages in their documentation where they straight up say they keep the tools updated, and the APIs are the same except <a list of maybe ten low-level differences> (which differences are in such areas of which I have never heard even with some rudimentary understanding of what Unix syscalls look like and what some parts of a kernel are).
