X/Open Transport Interface
open-in-new
<p>The X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) is an <a href="/facts/Open_Group/uRoDdEae">Open Group</a> specification for network application programming present in <a href="/facts/UNIX_System_V/Epm6GEY4">UNIX System V</a> operating systems. It provides <a href="/facts/Open_Systems_Interconnection/oxN9Xhjz">OSI</a> <a href="/facts/Transport_layer/UmIGUCeK">transport layer</a> services with protocol independence. Although Open Group considers this specification withdrawn, an implementation is part of the standard programming interfaces on modern UNIX System V operating systems where it is implemented using the <a href="/facts/STREAMS/MWSDgwBL">STREAMS</a> character input/output mechanism. </p>
