AFAICT and with the exception of POSIX threads 1003.1-1996, VSI claims 
no compliance with any of the POSIX or Single UNIX Specification 
standards. So there's that.

https://vmssoftware.com/docs/VSI_OVMS_SPDQS_OS_V842L1I_UPD1.pdf
https://vmssoftware.com/docs/VSI_C_spd.pdf

The next related upgrade past the recently-added C99 support will be 
with the Clang port for OpenVMS on x86-64.

I'm not sure what the claimed "common mode" compliance "as implemented 
on UNIX systems" is about either, other than maybe either badly 
obsolete (if K&R), or just misnamed.

I'm also not sure why VSI has two different webpages for SPDs. Here's 
the link with what seems to be the whole collection:

Ah, and I hadn't noticed that single-host shared stream I/O is on the 
roadmap. The native compilers are all arriving 2021H2; somewhere 
between V9.1 and V9.2.
