What is the difference between a Standardization and a Specification? While asking this question on "what exactly is standardization", I remebered that another related term that always came up while reading about C libraries was the term "specification".
To avoid asking more than one question in a single post, I decided to open another post that I hope will clarify what is the difference between this two "popular" terms.
The C POSIX library is defined as a specification of the C standard library, for POSIX systems. Anyway, is Posix usually considered standardized as well, isn't it?
Well, I'm a little bit confused by the use of this words.
I'd love to see reference and examples about other langauges, as much as clarification in the C case.
You ask for the definition of "specification".  Here's one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_(technical_standard).  You asked for the definition of a standard.  Here's one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_standard.
