I certainly do know about attempts to make standard for unix programming (POSIX, SUS etc.) but these documents tell what unix SHOULD look like (...) and do not tell what existing systems REALLY look like. Is there any document which sumarizes some widely implemented subset of unix features? I think we all need something that tells us "If you use function blabla you will successfully compile it (and it will behave correctly) on the following systems (...) since their following versions (...)". Is there any such document? Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
