Package: manpages-dev Version: 3.27-1 Severity: minor GNU libc / Linux allows disabling a c_cc setting by giving it the special value _POSIX_VDISABLE. This fact is not mentioned anywhere in the termios(3) manpage. Perhaps it ought to?
Non-portable code might simply set 0, which happens to be its value on Linux, but this leads to failures on other OSes, because it has a different value on most BSDs. There, it has the effect of setting Ctrl-Space (NUL, 0x00) to the special key instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages manpages-dev depends on: ii manpages 3.27-1 Manual pages about using a GNU/Lin manpages-dev recommends no packages.
