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 |
