[ This came in with Newsgroups: comp.std.unix,comp.std.c but I've recently made a policy of not cross-posting discussions, so I'm putting it only in comp.std.unix. -mod ] From: Ron Guilmette <rfg@PARIS.ICS.UCI.EDU> (I hope that you will all excuse my (nearly total) ignorance of current standards efforts.) As part of my work on my "protoize" tool, I need to obtain complete sets of function prototypes for the library functions available on various UNIX systems. Rather than use a multitude of various sets of prototypes (each of which may be "correct" only for one specific individual implementation of UNIX) it seems that the sensible thing to do would be to use one single POSIX set of library function prototypes. I'd like to do that, but the problem is that I need to obtain such a set (on-line) somewhere, and I don't know where to begin. Can anyone point me at a set of (on-line) POSIX library function prototypes? (I certainly don't want to type them all in by hand from POSIX documents!) Of course I will ultimately have to augment the POSIX prototypes set with additional prototypes for specific systems, but for the "core" functions (i.e. the ones which are covered by POSIX) I'd like my prototypes to reflect what POSIX is doing rather that reflecting any machine-specific local variations. // rfg Volume-Number: Volume 18, Number 35

It will be available when balloting completes. You should be able to get a copy thru the IEEE CS office, but it isn't current, as the balloting has been rather hectic of late. If you're desperate, write. (donn@hpfcla.hp.com) Donn Terry (as an individual) Volume-Number: Volume 18, Number 41
