Bug 1897: forward compatibility of utilities have options that extend POSIX but
are not strictly required to support --
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1897
Accepted as marked, Interpretation required, tc1-2024 tag.
Timer started 2024-12-20.
Interpretation response:
The standard does not speak to this issue, and as such no conformance
distinction can be made between alternative implementations based
on this. This is being referred to the sponsor.
Rationale:
The requirement for recognizing "--" as a first argument to be
discarded was intended to apply to all utilities that say "None"
in options. However, the use of the phrase "that do not accept
options" means that utilities that accept options as an extension
were not included.
Applications also rely on being able to pass arguments beginning
with '-' after an operand and not have it be treated as an option.
For example, printf '%d\n' -2
Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
On page 2463 line 79710 section 1.4 Utility Description Defaults, after:
<blockquote>Standard utilities that do not accept options, but
that do accept operands, shall recognize "--" as a first argument
to be discarded.</blockquote>
add a sentence:
<blockquote>Standard utilities that are not required to accept
options but accept them as an extension, and which accept
operands, shall conform to Guidelines 9 and 10 of [xref to XBD
Section 12.2].</blockquote>
