iOS & iPadOS are Mac(NeXT)-derived, thus are UNIX under the hood.

  Unix like and only mildly for iOS.

    Where is this mild part coming from?

        Could you elaborate a little? I don’t understand why the libraries make macOS less UNIX than some other Unixlike.

          Who mentioned macOS?!? My original statement was, > Android, ChromeOS, iOS and iPad OS have very little correlation to UNIX userspace, if any at all. Those books show how iOS and iPad OS have very little UNIX across the whole stack, and how much was taken from OS X.

    Not just Unix like. For example macOS is fully unix certified: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3683.htm https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3683.htm

      It says iOS not macOS and now I’m getting downvoted for reading. Brilliant. MacOS is fully certified allowing for all that sweet government contract money.
