Summary | 0001117: Use of "implementation-defined" in command -v / -V | ||||||
Description |
The -v and -V options for "command" include the text "and any implementation-defined functions that are found using the PATH variable (as described in Section 2.9.1.1, on page 2367)". I suspect this is intended just to mean "functions defined by the implementation", but by using the defined term "implementation-defined" the text introduces a documentation requirement. This is not the appropriate place to make such a requirement - if we want the functions found by PATH to be documented, 2.9.1.1 is the place to require it, not here. |
||||||
Desired Action |
For both -v and -V, change: and any implementation-defined functions that are found using the PATH variable to: and any implementation-provided functions that are found using the PATH variable |
