It is clear from the SYNOPSIS that executing these utilities with no file operands is allowed, and the reference to INPUT FILES from STDIN gives a clue that the intended behaviour is for them to read from standard input in that case. Desired Action: On page 2912 line 97167 section expand (OPERANDS), change:<blockquote>The pathname of a text file to be used as input.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>A pathname of a text file to be used as input. If no <i>file</i> operands are specified, the standard input shall be used.</blockquote> On page 2912 line 97169 section expand (STDIN), change:<blockquote>See the INPUT FILES section.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>The standard input shall be used if no file operands are specified, and shall be used if a file operand is '-' and the implementation treats the '-' as meaning standard input. Otherwise, the standard input shall not be used. See the INPUT FILES section.</blockquote> On page 3491 line 119166 section unexpand (OPERANDS), change:<blockquote>A pathname of a text file to be used as input.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>A pathname of a text file to be used as input. If no <i>file</i> operands are specified, the standard input shall be used.</blockquote> On page 3491 line 119168 section unexpand (STDIN), change:<blockquote>See the INPUT FILES section.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>The standard input shall be used if no file operands are specified, and shall be used if a file operand is '-' and the implementation treats the '-' as meaning standard input. Otherwise, the standard input shall not be used.
