On progress of the standard through the PSDO process Andrew reported that ISO had sent him a proof copy for comment. This is technically identical to the published version, with an ISO/IEC/IEEE cover page and additional copyright notices. The FDIS ballot on this document is due to start this coming week and end in February 2026. Andrew will contact David to get him setup for Etherpad write access. * Carried Forward Bug 1927: Add sponge utility https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1927 [Action to Eric B] Start a 30-day request for comments on whether The Open Group should sponsor the addition of this interface. glibc realloc() behavior [Action to Eric B] - respond to the thread and invite Alejandro to open a bug against POSIX if we still need to address wording issues Update 2025-06-26: discussion on mailing lists is still ongoing; EricB or Alejandro will open a bug soon * New Business Bug 1941: Add widely-implemented options to grep https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1941 We understand Mirabilos runs a custom distribution of BSD: http://www.mirbsd.org/about.htm http://www.mirbsd.org/htman/i386/man1/grep.htm ACTION: David Wheeler to do more research and update the bug before next meeting Bug 1942: Add common options to diff https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1942 Description of -i needs an xref to XBD 4.1 Case Insensitive Comparisons In -q and -s detail of output should be specified in STDOUT. Specify the string only for POSIX locale. In the desired action -w should specify whitespace, not <space> and <tab> (assuming that's what implementations do). Bug 1943: Usage of "multibyte" vs "multi-byte" in the standard text https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1943 Accepted as marked, resolved, tc1-2024 tag Change "multi-byte" to "multibyte" everywhere. 1944: posix_devctl() uses int for command where some ioctl() implementations use larger type https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1944 Leaning towards changing int to a defined type, required to be an integer type but unspecified whether signed or unsigned. The desired action suggests ioctl_command_t as the type name, but it ought to have "devctl" instead of "ioctl" in the name. Maybe devctl_cmd_t ? * Next Steps We will start on bug 1616 if no new bugs are submitted before the next meeting. We can also return to Bug 1913. The next call is on Thu 2025-09-25 (WEBEX meeting - general bugs) The calls are for 90 minutes Calls are anchored on US time. (8am Pacific) Please check the calendar invites for dial in details.
