Defect Report Processing ------------------------- The group picked up on the latest batch of defect reports, which are available at the following URL: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XCU ERN 58 who -b A/M Revise the -b option as follows: 1. Use the same term as in XBD: -b Write the time and date of the last system reboot. 2. Add a sentence The system reboot time is the time at which the implementation is able to commence running processes. 3. In the STDOUT section add to the XSI shaded text "XSI-conformant systems shall write the default information to the standard output in the following general format: ...." For the -b option, shall be "system boot". The is unspecified. 4. Change the 3rd line of SYNOPSIS from who [-mTu][-abdHlprt][file] To: who [-mu][-adHlprt][-b|-T][file] XCU ERN 59 df A/M Change the sentence on 12182-12183 from Otherwise, df shall write the amount of free space in the file system containing the specified file operand. to [XSI][Option Start] If the file operand names a special file containing a filesystem, df may write the amount of free space in that file system.[Option End]. Otherwise, df shall write the amount of free space in the file system containing the specified file operand. XSH ERN 90 Accept as Marked Put this down the interpretations track. The standard is clear no change is needed. Rationale to Interpretation: pthread_exit() is described in the standard and the equivalent operation to funlockfile() is not on the list and thus it is not allowed to do it. The standard states page 383 lines 12369-12370 "The funlockfile() function shall relinquish the ownership granted to the thread. The behavior is undefined if a thread other than the current owner calls the funlockfile() function." It is the applications responsibility to call funlockfile before the thread exits. Next Steps ----------- Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound defect reports. The next call is Thursday May 19 2005 (note day change) irc://irc.freestandards.org/austin
