On Page: 331 Line: 12687- Section: echo
In the OPERANDS
Change
"If any operand in -n, it shall be treated as a string, not an option"
to
"If the first operand is -n, or if any of the operands contain a backslash
(\) character, the results are implementation defined."
Change
"The following character sequences shall be recognized within
any of the arguments:"
to: (XSI shaded text as a separate paragraph)
"On XSI-conformant systems: If the first operand is -n, it shall be
treated as a string, not an option. The following character sequences
shall be recognized on XSI-conformant systems within any of the arguments:"
Extend the shading down to and including line 12705.
In the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section
XSI shade the LC_CTYPE environment variable on lines 12718-12720
In the STDOUT section
XSI shade the sentence beginning on line 12728:
"Output transformations shall occur based on the escape sequences in
the input. See the OPERANDS section."
In the APPLICATION USAGE
Change the first paragraph from
"In the ISO/IEC 9945:1993 standard, ... omitted."
To:
It is not possible to use echo portably across all POSIX systems unless
both -n (as the first argument) and escape sequences are omitted.
Change on line 12749 from
"The historic System V echo and the current requirements
in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 are equivalent to:"
to:
"The historic System V echo and the requirements on XSI implementations
in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 are equivalent to:"
In the RATIONALE (line 12772)
Change from:
The System V echo does not support any options, but allows escape
sequences within its operands, as described in the OPERANDS section.
to:
The System V echo does not support any options, but allows escape
sequences within its operands, as described for XSI implementations in
the OPERANDS section.
