Section XSH, 3. System Interfaces, catopen()
Page Number 639
Line Number 21682-21683
Interp Status ---
Final Accepted Text See Note: 0001452
Summary 0000645: catopen() uses the ambiguous phrase 'complete name'
Description The catopen() Description states:
"The name argument specifies the name of the message catalog to be opened. If name contains a '/', then name specifies a complete name for the message catalog."

However 'XBD, 3. Definitions' does not contain an entry for 'Complete Name'. 'complete name' is used in several places in 'XSH, 2.2.2, The Name Space' and in
'XSH, 3. System Interfaces, freeaddrinfo()' with regards to the AI_CANONNAME flag, but its application in those is unrelated to its use in catopen() where its intent is open to interpretation.

Note that the discussion and resolution of Issue 497, which touched upon catopen(), appears to assume that 'complete name' must be an absolute pathname to the catalog file.
Desired Action At lines 21682-21683, change

"... If name contains a '/', then name specifies a complete name ..."

to

"... If name contains a '/', then name specifies an absolute pathname ..."
