Commands Modified to Conform to POSIX Standard
The following Tru64 UNIX commands have been modified to conform to the POSIX standard.
For most of theses commands, the modified action is initiated by using a new environment
variable, STDS_FLAG.
• awk
• cp
• ex
• chmod
• edit
• find
• rm
• uucp
• uudecode
• vi
The following sections describe the changes to these commands.
Changes to ex, edit, and vi
The ex, edit, and vi (vedit/view) commands have been modified so the POSIX compliant
shell, /usr/bin/posix/sh, is the default shell when the SHELL environment variable is not
set or is set to NULL.
Prior to this fix, vi, ex did not have a command line interpreter when the SHELL environment
variable was set to NULL. .
Setting STDS_FLAG to ALL produces the following POSIX compliant behavior:
If C or S is entered in command mode and more than part of a single line is affected, then vi
saves the affected text in numeric buffers.
Changes to awk and nawk
The awk and nawk commands have been modified to interpret numbers and the equal sign (=)
as text strings when specified as arguments to “program text.”
To produce this POSIX compliant action, set the new STDS_FLAG to ALL:
STDS_FLAG=ALL
When STDS_FLAG is set to ALL, variable names that do not begin with the alphabetic character
or underscore are considered invalid.
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.
