iT/Skolan DNS <hama@its.mil.se> types: > To what extent do FreeBSD conform to Posix and/or X/Open ( XPG 1-4 ) > standards ? As much as is practical. Getting branded costs money which no one has been willing to pay, so there's no point in conforming to that level. Conforming to Posix is of high enough priority that changes that break conformance are rejected even if they increase the usability of the system, but not so high that differences will be fixed if they compromise the integrity of the system in some way. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
