| Summary | 0000855: Tiny wording clarifications on "the" versus "a" startup file | ||||
| Description | The latter paragraph uses several different forms of referring to a startup file, of which there are potentially multiple, i.e., plural. This intermixed usage irritates a little bit because when in this context the singular "the" is used one may think it refers to a specific "the" (most likely the unspecified system global one). Ditto the former uses the term "the" but effectively means the users own startup-file, which should also be adjusted given that that term is used in other places, too. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change, p. 2910, l. 96076: Determine the pathname of the start-up file. to Determine the pathname of the user start-up file. Change, p. 2915, l. 96280+ The following commands shall be invalid in the start-up file: !, edit, hold, mail, preserve, reply, Reply, shell, visual, Copy, followup, and Followup. Any errors in the start-up file shall either cause mailx to terminate with a diagnostic message and a non-zero status or to continue after writing a diagnostic message, ignoring the remainder of the lines in the start-up file. to The following commands shall be invalid in a start-up file: !, edit, hold, mail, preserve, reply, Reply, shell, visual, Copy, followup, and Followup. Any errors in a start-up file shall either cause mailx to terminate with a diagnostic message and a non-zero status or to continue after writing a diagnostic message, ignoring the remainder of the lines in the file. Finally i would prefer to change, on p. 2915, l. 96278: 5. Process the start-up file of mailx commands named in the user MAILRC variable. to 5. Process the user start-up file of mailx commands named in the MAILRC variable. | ||||
