HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1.B-4 Patch Summary and Release Notes (13156)

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
See the revised sys_attris_generic(5) reference page delivered in this kit for more information.
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and
associated tags.
