Hi
I enclose a comment on the 02-Nov-1998 online draft
regards

File: <unistd.h>
URL: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/spec/chap0665.html

Problem:
The spec seems to point to the wrong value for the POSIX standard
for both POSIX.1 and POSIX.2.
I think you are targetting to comply with the latest POSIX.1 revision
that is the 1996 version which includes Threads. I year value for the
POSIX-2 Version is wrong.

Thus, the value of _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _POSIX_VERSION and _POSIX2_C_VERSION
need correcting as follows:

Action:
Change "#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309L" to "#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199506L"

Change "#define POSIX_VERSION 199309L" to "#define _POSIX_VERSION 199506L"

Change "#define _POSIX2_C_VERSION 199912L" to "#define _POSIX2_C_VERSION
199209L"
