I have been asked by the X/OPEN Internationalisation working group to circulate on the net an errata in the X/OPEN Portability Guide (XPG), published January 1987. This is issue 2 which comes in 5 layflat binders. In Volume 3, Chapter 3 Internationalisation the manual page for CTIME(3C) contains a typo which may confuse both implementors and application programs. In the list of field descriptors for use in nl_cxtime() and nl_ascxtime() the format letter for obtaining the last two digits of the year is incorrectly specified. It should read: y last 2 digits of year - 00 to 99 ^ | | NOTE: lower case y. The entry is then consistent with the example given further down the manual page. Please could you make this change to any new copies of the January 1987 XPG which you currently have or which you obtain in the future.
