* Current Business
1797: strftime "%s" should be able to examine tm_gmtoff OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1797
We expect to continue this item this coming Thursday
(Paul has confirmed availability).
Bug 1818: Add strcasestr() & strcasestr_l() OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1818
Action: Eric B to ask The Open Group if they are willing to sponsor
these functions for Issue 9.
Bug 1822: Define splitting using a null field separator Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1822
This item is tagged for Issue 9.
Page and line numbers are for issue 8 draft 4.1.
On P2617, L85671 section awk (EXTENDED DESCRIPTION) change:
If FS is a null string, the behavior is unspecified.
to:
If FS is a null string, each character shall become a separate field.
We started on this item. Notes are in the etherpad. We will continue
on this item next time.
Bug 1824: cp: directories and symlinks OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1824
Action: Eric B to contact the GNU coreutils maintainers to ask for
their input, particularly on the behavior noted in bugnote 6788.
Bug 1825: Does releasing a reader lock carries a "release" memory order
semantic? Withdrawn
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1825
Withdrawn by the submitter.
Bug 1826: du: space used between <size> and <pathname>, while common
implementations use tab Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1826
Bug 1827: Standardize gzip(1) cli interface instead of adding it to compress(1)
Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1827
Bug 1041 was resolved more than 7 years ago and had been included
in draft versions of the standard for more than 4 years before bug
1827 was submitted. Filing a bug to reverse this after the IEEE
and The Open Group ballots have been completed and while the ISO
ballot on the current version of the standard is in its final stage
is way too late to make the requested changes. Furthermore, these
issues were discussed before the changes were approved seven years
ago and the standard developers believed then and still believe
that including the changes to compress was better than adding several
other sets of compression utilities. Therefore, this bug is rejected.
Bug 1828: Rationale is out of date Accepted
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1828
This item is tagged for TC1-2024
Bug 1829: symlink() and terminating null bytes Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1829
This item is tagged for TC1-2024
Make the changes suggested in the Desired Action and in Note: 0006776.
Bug 1830: off-by-one error regarding offset maximum Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1830
This item is tagged for TC1-2024
Change:
For regular files, no data transfer shall occur past the offset
maximum established in the open file description associated
with fildes.
to:
For regular files, no data shall be written at positions greater
than or equal to the offset maximum established in the open
file description associated with fildes. If the starting position
is greater than or equal to the offset maximum (and nbyte is
greater than 0), the request shall fail; otherwise, only as
many bytes as there is room for shall be written.
Bug 1831: how do you get the timestamp resolution of a symlink? OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1831
Action: EricB to ask The Open Group to sponsor this change.
Closing 786 as a duplicate of this, since this is more up to date
and refers to an implementation that is expected to exist by the
time this is standardized.
Bug 786: pathconfat() is missing Dup of 1831
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=786
Closed, duplicate of 1831.
