.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn check_utility_compat "const char *utility"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn check_utility_compat
|
|
function checks whether
|
|
.Fa utility
|
|
should behave in a traditional
|
|
.Pq Fx 4.7 Ns -compatible
|
|
manner, or in accordance with
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
The configuration is given as a comma-separated list of utility names;
|
|
if the list is present but empty, all supported utilities assume their
|
|
most compatible mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn check_utility_compat
|
|
function first checks for an environment variable named
|
|
.Ev _COMPAT_FreeBSD_4 .
|
|
If that environment variable does not exist, then
|
|
.Fn check_utility_compat
|
|
will attempt to read the contents of a symbolic link named
|
|
.Pa /etc/compat-FreeBSD-4-util .
|
|
If no configuration is found, compatibility mode is disabled.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn check_utility_compat
|
|
function returns zero if
|
|
.Fa utility
|
|
should implement strict
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001
|
|
behavior, and nonzero otherwise.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/compat-FreeBSD-4-util"
