Summary 0000911: confstr(_CS_PATH) and special built-ins
Description The end of the description of confstr() says that the returned string
for _CS_PATH "can be used as a value of the PATH environment variable
that accesses all of the standard utilities of POSIX.1-2008". However
XCU 2.14 says that the special built-in utilities need not be provided
in a manner accessible via exec. This means there may be some standard
utilities that cannot be accessed via PATH, and the confstr() description
should allow for that.

The description of _CS_PATH in <unistd.h> has the same problem.
Desired Action On Page: 692 Line: 23446 Section: confstr()

In the DESCRIPTION section, change from:

can be used as a value of the PATH environment variable that accesses all of the standard utilities of POSIX.1-2008

to:

can be used as a value of the PATH environment variable that accesses all of the standard utilities of POSIX.1-2008 that are provided in a manner accessible via the exec family of functions

Cross-volume change to XBD...

On Page: 440 Line: 14878 Section: <unistd.h>

In the DESCRIPTION section, change from:

This is the value for the PATH environment variable that finds all standard utilities.

to:

This is the value for the PATH environment variable that finds all of the standard utilities that are provided in a manner accessible via the exec family of functions
