security controls" are replaced by "additional or alternate file access control mechanisms."
The following change is incorporated for alignment with the FIPS requirements:
• In the ERRORS section, the condition whereby [ENAMETOOLONG] will be returned if a path-
name component is larger that {NAME_MAX} is now defined as mandatory and marked as an
extension.
Another change is incorporated as follows:
• The header <sys/types.h> is now marked as optional (OH); this header need not be included
on XSI-conformant systems.
Issue 4, Version 2
The ERRORS section is updated for X/OPEN UNIX conformance as follows:
• In the mandatory section, EIO is added to indicate that a physical I/O error has occurred, and
ELOOP to indicate that too many symbolic links were encountered during pathname resolution.
• In the optional section, a second ENAMETOOLONG condition is defined that may report excessive
length of an intermediate result of pathname resolution of a symbolic link.
• In the optional section, EOVERFLOW is added to indicate that a value to be stored in a member of
the stat structure would cause overflow.
