Even then there are some differences. I think you are right. However, they often use "POSIX-compliant" loosely. Something that would be better described as "POSIX-like" or "almost POSIX-compliant for our practical needs", or even "Unix-like-like-the-one-we-used-to-build-and-run-our-code-successfully". Absolute and strict compliance to a given standard, with almost mathematical certainty, is something rather theoretical. I'm not an expert, but I think that, even without 'POSIXLY_CORRECT' set, GNU is a quite good "POSIX-compliant" OS in the vulgar sense, given that it satisfies the majority of programs intended to run under "POSIX-compliant" operating systems. And, IMHO, that's what they usually mean. --=20 ,=3D ,-_-. =3D.
