That is sort of the definition.
No. By definition, Carbon is that set of capabilities which we
can offer up on *both* OS 9, and OS X. Not all of the C API
published on OS X is part of Carbon, nor is every C API that
existed on OS 9.
Keep in mind, there's C API that's part of Cocoa as well. (See
"Foundation Functions" and "AppKit Functions".)
