+The System V Interface Definition is a series of publications describing the minimum required user and application interface expected of UNIX systems published as System V compatible.  Four known issues exist, published in 1985, 1986, 1992, and 1995, which cover System V Release 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 4.2 respectively.
+As the SVID was more particular to UNIX System V, it contains many components not found in the POSIX standard.
+From the introduction of the Fourth Edition:
+The System V Interface Definition (SVID) is intended for use by anyone who must understand the operating system components that are consistent across all System V environments.  As such, its primary audience is the application developer who is building C language application programs having source code that must be portable from one System V environment to another.  A system builder should also view these volumes as necessary tools for supporting a System V environment that will host such applications.
