Change Number: U0952/26 [XCU ERN 10]
On Page: 722,724 Line: 28039-28040,28099 Section: pax (2003 Ed.)
On Page: 719,721 Line: 27800-27801,27860 Section: pax (2001 Ed.)
In the EXTENDED DESCRIPTION cpio header
Change From:
"c_nlink Contains the number of links referencing the file at
the time the archive was created."
To:
"c_nlink Contains a number greater than or equal to the
number of links in the archive referencing the file. If the -a option is
used to append to a cpio archive, then the pax utility need not account
for the files in the existing part of the archive when calculating the
c_nlink values for the appended part of the archive, and need not alter
the c_nlink values in the existing part of the archive if additional
files with the same c_dev and c_ino values are appended to the archive."
In the APPLICATION USAGE section
Insert before line 28099 (2003 Ed.); line 27860 (2001 Ed.)
"Caution is advised when using the -a option to append to a
cpio format archive. If any of the files being appended happen
to be given the same c_dev and c_ino values as a file in the
existing part of the archive, then they may be treated as links
to that file on extraction. Thus it is risky to use -a with cpio
format except when it is done on the same system that the original
archive was created on, and with the same pax utility, and in
the knowledge that there has been little or no file system
activity since the original archive was created that could lead
to any of the files being appended being given the same c_dev and
c_ino values as an unrelated file in the existing part of the
archive. Also, when (intentionally) appending additional links
to a file in the existing part of the archive, the c_nlink values
in the modified archive can be smaller than the number of links
to the file in the archive, which may mean that the links are not
preserved on extraction."
Change Number: U0952/xx [XCU ERN 23]
On Page: 720 Line: 27939-27940,27961 Section: pax (2003 Ed.)
On Page: 717 Line: 27700-27701,27722 Section: pax (2001 Ed.)
In the EXTENDED DESCRIPTION ustar Interchange Format
On lines 27939-27940 (2003 Ed.); lines 27700-27701 (2001 Ed.)
Change From:
"Such files are identified by each file having the same device and
file serial number."
To:
"Such files are identified by having the same device and file
serial numbers, and pathnames that refer to different directory
entries. All such files shall be archived as linked files."
Before line 27961 (2003 Ed.); line 27722 (2001 Ed.)
Insert the following paragraph:
"It is unspecified whether files with pathnames that refer to
the same directory entry are archived as linked files or as
separate files. If they are archived as linked files this means
that attempting to extract both pathnames from the resulting
archive will always cause an error (unless the -u option is used)
because the link cannot be created.
It is unspecified whether files with the same device and file
serial numbers being appended to an archive are treated as
linked files to members that were in the archive before the append."
Change Number: U0951/xx [XSH ERN 76]
On Page: 56 Line: 2277 Section: 2.9.5.2 Cancellation Points (2003 Ed.)
On Page: 56 Line: 2278 Section: 2.9.5.2 Cancellation Points (2001 Ed.)

point (the second list of functions in this section)
in the appropriate order:
"access

asctime_r
ctime
ctime_r
fmtmsg
fpathconf
fstat
getaddrinfo
gethostid

Change Number: U0951/xx [XSH Errata 2003-1]
On Page: 1247 Line: 38887 Section: select (2003 Ed.)
On Page: 1242 Line: 38658 Section: select (2001 Ed.)
In the SYNOPSIS section
Change from:
"#include <sys/time.h>"

"#include <sys/select.h>"
Rationale: This is an editorial correction to the pointer page
to match the actual manual page.
