It is in draft form, and you have to be a member of the Austin group to have read access to it. Membership is free: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/lists.html Draft 2 is closed, and draft 3 is not yet ready for comments; it is anticipated to have at least draft 4 before the next version of POSIX becomes binding. > > I'm surprised that glibc implements this behavior for fflush on > input streams: the glibc manual I have here doesn't mention it. That's because the man page copies the (weaker) wording from the existing POSIX spec, which is rather vague in that area. > But I can see in the libio sources that glibc does do it. Also, the newlib library (the basis of cygwin) was patched in the last year to do so. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
