Notice how the bug states that the final accepted text is http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=205#c385 For more details on the topic, refer to the mailing list archives around that time: https://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_archive.tpl?source=L&listname=austin-group-l&first=1&pagesize=80&searchstring=socketpair&zone=F Including this message from David Korn, regarding ksh's position: https://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?CALLER=show_archive.tpl&source=L&listname=austin-group-l&id=13316 and this one explaining why the Austin Group does not like sockets: https://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?CALLER=show_archive.tpl&source=L&listname=austin-group-l&id=13315 It may be worth re-raising the issue with the Austin Group. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
