They are in the scope of the approved standard. b. They contain no new APIs (functions/utilities); however they may add enumeration symbols, non-function #defines, and reserve additional namespaces. c. They address contradictions between different parts of the standard, or add consistency between the standard and overriding standards, or address security-related problems. 13. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Intended users and user benefits. REVISION STANDARDS - Purpose of the original standard and reason for the standard's revision. Please be brief (less than 5 lines). The purpose of the technical corrigendum is to address problems discovered since the approval of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 and IEEE Std 1003.1-2001/Cor 1-2002. These are mainly due to resolving integration issues raised by the merger of the Base documents that went into IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. This will benefit the body of users of IEEE Std 1003.1 and will be the second such technical corrigendum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14.
