HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-5 Patch Summary and Release Notes (March 2009)

If STDS_FLAG is not set or is set to NULL, awk interprets this use of numbers and the
equal sign as numeric strings when specified as arguments to “program text.” This
was the default action before these commands were modified.
3.2.1.25.3 Changes to chmod
The chmod command has been modified to force it to consider the umask when the
who(ugoa) argument is not specified.
To produce this POSIX compliant-action, set the new STDS_FLAG to ALL:
STDS_FLAG=ALL
If STDS_FLAG is not set or is set to NULL, chmod does not consider the umask value
while changing to the permissions specified. This was the default action before chmod
was modified.
3.2.1.25.4 Changes to cp
The cp command has been modified to enable compliance to the following POSIX
requirements:
• When the -i and -f options are used together the -f should not disable a previous
-i (that is, turn off prompting).
• When the -f is set and the target file cannot be opened for writing, cp unlinks the
target file.
To produce this POSIX-compliant action, set the new STDS_FLAG to ALL:
STDS_FLAG=ALL
If STDS_FLAG is not set or is set to NULL, when the -i and -f options are used together
the one specified last takes effect. This was the default action before cp was modified.
3.2.1.25.5 Changes to ex
The ex command has been modified to return 1 as an exit status when a read-only
option with write fails.
To produce this POSIX-compliant action, set the new STDS_FLAG to ALL:
STDS_FLAG=ALL
If STDS_FLAG is not set or is set to NULL, ex will return 0 as an exist status when a
read-only option with write fails. This was the default action before ex was modified.
3.2.1.25.6 Changes to find
The find command has been modified to not treat a hyphen (--) as special if it is first
argument. Instead, it ignores the hyphen and lists the file containing the hyphen.
To produce this POSIX-compliant action, set the new STDS_FLAG to ALL:
STDS_FLAG=ALL
