This is in regards to the Location in the "Interfaces" sections,
correct?
3. Interfaces
/usr/benchmarks/filebench/filebench
Location: Committed
Invocation: Uncommitted
Human-readable output: Not an Interface
/usr/share/man/man1/filebench.1
Location Uncommitted
So if we classify this as "Volatile" then we can change whatever /usr/
benchmarks/filebench/filebench does in an incompatible manner with
previous versions?
But if we go with "Committed", then we cannot?
Yes, i've read:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/interface-taxonomy/
but i'd like clarification :)
