Would be helpful to point to the posix standard/requirement which mandates this. Do you mean a single Unix api description or a posix command spec? I don’t think I know of any such things.
Wikipedia claims A POSIX-conforming variant of inet_aton, the inet_pton() function, supports only the four-decimal variant of IP addresses.[10] And can you also justify a bit more who needs that octal compatibility? Over the years a lot of confusion (zero padding) and security issues (csrf filters not catching all formats) have been found, so it’s really not a good idea to implement it for no good reason. I think this was also the conclusion for the ofLiteral() api. Sergey Chernyshev wrote on 26.
