The LSB is registered as an official ISO standard. The main parts of it are:

  • ISO/IEC 23360-1:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 1: Generic specification
  • ISO/IEC 23360-2:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 2: Specification for IA32 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-3:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 3: Specification for IA64 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-4:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 4: Specification for AMD64 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-5:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 5: Specification for PPC32 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-6:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 6: Specification for PPC64 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-7:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 7: Specification for S390 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-8:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 8: Specification for S390X architecture

There is also ISO/IEC TR 24715:2006 which identifies areas of conflict between ISO/IEC 23360 (the Linux Standard Base 3.1 specification) and the ISO/IEC 9945:2003 (POSIX) International Standard.

ISO/IEC 23360 and ISO/IEC TR 24715 can be freely downloaded from ISO website.

Famous quotes containing the word standard:

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
