Utilities Interface Table

This chapter lists all the utilities described in XCU Issue 6, and indicates what other specifications support the interfaces.

The following conventions are used in columns 2 through 9:

m
Indicates that the interface is defined as mandatory.
opt
In the POSIX Base column, two or three letter option codes are used as described in Section 2 denoting the option to which the interface belongs.
d
Indicates that the interface is part of the DEVELOPMENT option or feature group.
f
Indicates that the interface is part of the FORTRAN option or feature group.
2d
Indicates that the interface is part of IEEE Std 1003.2d-1994 (Batch Environment).
o
Indicates that the interface is optional.
.
Indicates that the interface is not specified.

It should be noted that while another specification may support the interface, some of the interface semantics may have changed with evolution and standardization. A developer should not assume that because the interface appears in other specifications, it will behave exactly as described in the XCU Issue 6.

There are 160 utilities listed.
