@ page 720 line 27811-27812 section pax objection {jf-kd-pax-140403-2}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2001

Defect code :  1. Error

lines 27811-27812: 
   
  27811  c_nlink       Contains the number of links referencing the file at the 
time the archive was 
  27812                created. 
  

The language is ambiguous, and leads to a common mis-intrepretation, 
that the link count saved in this field is that which pertained on 
the file system when this file was archived.  This is not a meaningful
number.

This can lead to subtle and nasty data corruption bugs.
   
The proper meaning of this field is "the number of links in this 
archive referencing the file at the time the archive was created".  


Action:

Change lines 27811-27812 from: 
   
"c_nlink       Contains the number of links referencing the file at 
the time the archive was created."

to

"c_nlink       Contains the number of links in this archive 
referencing the file at the time the archive was created"
