Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1993 17:54:07 GMT Lines: 12 Dear People: Does anyone know when the sysconf and pathconf functions where added to various versions of unix? I have a os that is based on version 7 of unix and does not have those. Am I correct in my observation that many posix features are new, and many versions of unix are scrambling to have them? It seems that posix agreed on a standard that the diverging operating systems provide compatibity with, but not always. Is posix still a vaporware kind of thing? Does 386bsd try to move towards this posix stuff? Puzzled in peoria. (well, California) -- news@lmsc.lockheed.com
