http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ has now been replaced (see #900882, for which I'm preparing a patch) with POSIX.1-2017, which is variously labelled as: * POSIX.1-2017 * IEEE Std 1003.1-2017 * The Open Group Technical Standard Base Specifications, Issue 7 * The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition and no longer has visible "Single Unix Specification" branding at all. However, the downloadable tarballs at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/download/ have basename susv4-2018. According to Wikipedia it "incorporates Singles UNIX Specification TC1 and TC2, and is technically identical to the 2016 edition." I'd suggest replacing SUSv3 with POSIX.1-2017 or SUSv4 2018 edition instead, or perhaps replacing SUSv3 with POSIX and clarifying that we use POSIX to refer to the latest version of the POSIX.1 standard. smcv
