| Summary | 0000937: Application definition is missing text about interactive users | ||||
| Description | The original POSIX.2-1992 standard contained the following text which did not make it into the merged POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3 revision: When the User Portability Utilities option is supported, requirements associated with the term application also shall be interpreted to include the actions of the user who is interacting with the system by entering shell command language statements from a terminal. Something similar should be added to the XBD definition of "application". (I think the wording could be improved.) A related issue is that XRAT section A.1.5 states on line 115962: The term "application" is not defined in POSIX.1-2008; it is assumed to be a part of general computer science terminology This rationale derives from POSIX.2-1992 and was true then, but was no longer true when a definition of the term was added in POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3. | ||||
| Desired Action | On Page: 35 Line: 1199 Section: 3.17 Application After: A computer program that performs some desired function. add a new paragraph: When the User Portability Utilities option is supported, requirements placed on applications relating to the use of standard utilities shall also apply to the actions of a user who is entering shell command language statements into an interactive shell. Cross-volume change to XRAT... On Page: 3444 Line: 115962 Section: A.1.5 Terminology Delete the paragraph: The term "application" is not defined in POSIX.1-2008; it is assumed to be a part of general computer science terminology. | ||||
