The full-blown title is (deep breathing...)

    ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1990), Information technology --
    Operating System Interface (POSIX) -- Part 1: System Application
    Program Interface (API) [C Language]

Among non-iso-ists this is generally known as POSIX.1 or P1003.1, the
original IEEE reference names. You can get copies by your national standard
body, which usually distributes ISO standards in your country, or by the
IEEE computer society, which I find at least for Europe much more convenient
(and cheaper). In Europe you call [phone], in the US [phone]
for the IEEE path, or try ANSI sales at [phone].
