The following issue has been SUBMITTED. == https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1829 == Reported By:geoffclare Assigned To: == Project:1003.1(2016/18)/Issue7+TC2 Issue ID: 1829 Category: System Interfaces Type: Error Severity: Objection Priority: normal Status: New Name: Geoff Clare Organization: The Open Group User Reference: Section:symlink() Page Number:2095 Line Number:67093 Interp Status: --- Final Accepted Text: == Date Submitted: 2024-05-02 16:48 UTC Last Modified: 2024-05-02 16:48 UTC == Summary:symlink() and terminating null bytes Description: The description of symlink() says the created symbolic link contains "the string pointed to by path1". Since a string by definition has a terminating null byte, by a strict reading this implies the null is included in the symbolic link, but that's not the intended requirement, nor how systems behave. Desired Action: On page 2095 line 67093 section symlink(), change:The symlink() function shall create a symbolic link called path2 that contains the string pointed to by path1 (path2 is the name of the symbolic link created, path1 is the string contained in the symbolic link).to:The symlink() function shall create a symbolic link called path2 that contains the string pointed to by path1, excluding the terminating null byte. (That is, path2 specifies the pathname of the symbolic link created; path1 specifies the contents of the symbolic link.) == Issue History Date ModifiedUsername FieldChange == 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare New Issue 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare Section => symlink() 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare Page Number => 2095 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare Line Number => 67093 2024-05-02 16:48 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ==
