Summary

0000552: [Authorized Guide to the SUSv4] read, write and tzset are XSI-extensions???

Description

My bug report is about "Authorized Guide to the SUSv4".
The guide says that I should post bugs to OGSpecs@opengroup.org , but when I send E-mail to this address, my E-mail was rejected as SPAM. So, I post my bug here, to Austin Group Defect Tracker.

Section 7.2 (System Interface Table) says that read(...), write(...) and tzset(...) are optional XSI-extensions in P01 (POSIX.1-2001).
But, of course, POSIX.1-2001 itself says that they are mandatory (tzset is extension of C standard, but it is not XSI-extension) :)
I think reason is following: table was automatically generated from POSIX specs. But read(...) and pread(...) are located on the same page (I see it on online pubs) and pread(...) is XSI-extension (same for write and tzset). So (probably) your parser decided that read(...) is XSI, too. So, there may be other similar bugs.

Desired Action

Fix the guide and probably your POSIX specs parser/converter

(0001223) ajosey (manager) 2012-05-02 06:22	This appears to be a long time bug in the interface tables in at that read(), write() and tzset() should not be marked as part of the xsi extension in POSIX 01.(this bug was present in the previous edition of the book)

(0001224) ajosey (manager) 2012-05-02 12:42	The pdf of document G101 has been updated.
