The Oracle Solaris OS supports numerous standards and specifications. Oracle Solaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11 releases were certified and registered with the UNIX 03 brand conforming to the Single UNIX Specification, Version 03 (SUSv3) standard. This standard is managed by The Open Group industry consortium.
Software developers writing applications in the Oracle Solaris environment should be aware of these standards. Developers can declare that an application complies with a specific standard by using specific compiler options. The standards that are supported by Oracle Solaris and their related compiler options are outlined in the standards(5) manual page.
