Official NIST-PCTS:151-2, October 1, 1995 The NIST-PCTS:151-2 is a POSIX conformance test suite (PCTS) written by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It tests system implementations for conformance to FIPS 151-2. FIPS 151-2 is based on the ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)-- Part 1:System Application Program Interface (API) [C Language] and the additional requirements as restated in Appendix A of the NIST-PCTS:151-2 Installation and Testing Guide. The assertions tested by this PCTS are only those of the IEEE Std 2003.1-1992 Test Methods for Measuring Conformance to POSIX.1 that relate to FIPS 151-2. This distribution is fully contained within the compressed cpio archived file NP_distr.Z.exe. The documentation for the NIST-PCTS:151-2 is written in "troff" and incorporates the "mm" macros. The files ITG.ps and CVR.ps contain the postscript files for the documents NIST-PCTS:151-2--Installation and Testing Guide and NIST POSIX Testing Policy--Certificate of Validation Requirements for FIPS 151-2 respectively. These files are provided for those that may not have the resources to generate the printable documents from the distribution.
