Michael Kerrisk 345edc6afd POSIX.1-2008 rectifies the POSIX.1-2001 ommission, specifying 
that zero is returned by a successful sem_init() call.
 2008-08-21 06:48:50 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 2773008f52 These interfaces are specified in POSIX.1-2008. 2008-08-21 06:31:11 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 55e80e2598 Relocate text for resolved_path==NULL case to DESCRIPTION. 
POSIX.1-2001 leaves the resolved_path==NULL case as
implementation-defined; POSIX.1-2008 specifies the behavior
described in this man page.
