97 #001 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Legacy Error returns Relevant Sections: Multiple Spec: XSH Issue 5 Resolution Request: ------------------- Certain LEGACY routines do not have explicit error returns and ENOSYS errors defined. The interfaces are minimally: getdtablesize getpagesize re_comp re_exec , brk, sbrk. Resolution Response ------------------- The intent of the legacy functions was not to change their interface , thus where no explicit error returns were previously defined, these cannot be introduced now. The introduction to section 1.3 specifies the global requirement that ENOSYS be set in errno. The test suite can only check the setting of errno. Rationale ------------- None. Approved: 15th May 1997
