Defect report from : Paul Eggert , UCLA
(Please direct followup comments direct to yyyyyyyyyyyyyy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx)
@ page 664 line 25710 section nice objection {20040725b}
Problem:
Edition of Specification (Year): 2004
Defect code : 1. Error
The POSIX specification for the "nice" command is confused about the
sign of nice values in a few places. Common practice is for "nice
command" to run a command with a larger nice value, typically 10
greater than before. However, the specification for the "nice"
command says just the opposite.
Action:
Replace the following text in page 664 lines 25710-25712:
With no options and only if the user has appropriate privileges,
the executed utility shall be run with a nice value that is some
implementation-defined quantity less than or equal to the nice value
of the current process.
with:
With no options, the executed utility shall be run with a nice
value that is some implementation-defined quantity greater than or
equal to the nice value of the current process.
In page 665 line 25770, change "the default lower nice value" to "the
default higher-or-equal nice value".
In page 665 line 25772, change "lower nice value" to "higher nice
value".
In page 666 line 25808, change "lower the nice value" to "raise the
nice value".
