    If you follow through a few levels of links from the artice, the standard is available online (for free) at:

    http://www.unix.org/version3/online.html

    You have to register (your name and email address) and agree to some terms and conditions to be allowed to read it.

    Interestingly they also thought it important to answer the seemingly pointless question : how many API's are there? with a bar chart showing the number in a variety of specifications!
