Posh is a software framework consisting of a header file and an optional C source file to aid in cross-platform software development. It was created by Brian Hook. It's BSD licensed and currently at version 1.3.002. Posh does not provide alternatives where a host platform does not offer a feature, but informs through preprocessor macros what's supported and what not. It sets macros to assist in compiling with various different compilers, and different host endiannesses.

  • Posh is a software framework consisting of a header file and an optional C source file to aid in cross-platform software development. It was created by Brian Hook. It's BSD licensed and currently at version 1.3.002. Posh does not provide alternatives where a host platform does not offer a feature, but informs through preprocessor macros what's supported and what not. It sets macros to assist in compiling with various different compilers, and different host endiannesses. In its simplest form, only a single header file is required. In the optional C source file, there are functions for byte swapping and in-memory serialisation/deserialisation. Brian Hook also created SAL (Simple Audio Library) that utilises Posh. Both are featured in his book "Write Portable Code". Posh is also used in Ferret and Vega Strike.
