Re: [libposix-development] Warm-up task

[Henrique A. <hd...@gm...>]

 Ok, that was FAST. :-D Chris, there are some tags that don't describe
options. "OB" just means obsolescent. asctime and asctime_r are obsolescent,
but MANDATORY. Also, "CX" just mean "C extension", it's safe to omit that.
Please fix the tags. Also, you don't seem to have joined the mailing list,
please join, so that I don't need to forward the messages to you.

 The full option list is available at:

 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/unistd.h.html

 For anyone that has spare time, you can get more 50 functions to classify.
;-) Just send a note to the list, so that there's no overlap.
