Hi,

A discussion I had on freenode's ##c brought about the question of  
FreeBSD's strdup standards compliance. From what I gather, strdup is  
present in the "IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition" standard and quite  
possibly the POSIX.1-2001 version too.

The man-page also mentions that the function first appeared in 4.4BSD  
but numerous sites on the net claim that it was 4.3BSD that brought it  
about. Does FreeBSD's implementation conform to these as well as SVr4?

Cheers,
Andy
