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, find will treat the first hyphen as special
and exit with an error. This was the default action before find was modified.
3.2.1.25.7 Changes to rm
The rm command has been modified to handle an excessive depth of files. Even if the
pathname is longer than PATH_MAX by multiple times, rm will delete the directory with
all its subdirectories and exit with value 0.
To produce this POSIX-compliant action, set the new STDS_FLAG to ALL:
STDS_FLAG=ALL
When STDS_FLAG is not set or set to NULL, rm will not delete files when the pathname
exceeds PATH_MAX value. This was the default action before rm was modified.
3.2.1.25.8 Changes to uucp
The uucp command has been modified so it can create a regular file when a directory
with the same name already exists.
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 uucp, attempts to create a regular file
with the same name as an existing directory, the attempt fails and the file attributes
are not changed. This was the default action before uucp was modified.
3.2.1.25.9 Changes to uudecode
The uudecode command has been enhanced to recognize symbolic file mode.
For example, consider a case in which an editor was used to modify the first line of a
source file of an encoded file from this:
begin 744 example.en
to this:
begin u=rwx,go=r example.en
The modified uudecode command would recognize the symbolic mode and create
the file example.en.
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 uudecode, will recognize only absolute
file mode. This was the default action before uudecode was modified.
3.2.1.26 New Generic Subsystem Attribute Corrects UNIX98 Standards Violations
A new tunable system attribute, std_unix98, has been added under the generic
subsystem to cause the waitpid( ) and poll( ) system calls to conform to UNIX98
standard behavior.
