See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 24 Feb 1998 API stands for Application Programming Interface. For a useful subset of standard APIs that NIST considers relevant to US Federal government needs, you can look at NIST SP 500-187 "Application Portability Profile" (available using the World-Wide Web via URL http://nemo.ncsl.nist.gov/app-ose/), or send mail to mail-server@nemo.ncsl.nist.gov with send app-ose/app2.txt in the body, or contact Barbara Blickenstaff, 301-975-2816. Many of the open systems APIs are being developed in the IEEE POSIX groups. An article in the Dec. 1991 IEEE Spectrum describes these and related API standards. IEEE standards aren't distributed electronically, but both of the documents above tell how to obtain copies.
