- I have been asked by the X/OPEN Internationalisation working group to
- circulate on the net an errata in the X/OPEN Portability Guide (XPG),
- published January 1987.
-
- In Volume 3, Chapter 3 Internationalisation the manual page for
- CTIME(3C) contains a typo which may confuse both implementors and
- application programs.
-
- In the list of field descriptors for use in nl_cxtime() and nl_ascxtime()
- the format letter for obtaining the last two digits of the year is
- incorrectly specified. It should read:
-
- y last 2 digits of year - 00 to 99
-
- ^
- |
- | NOTE: lower case y.
-
- The entry is then consistent with the example given further down the
- manual page.
-
- Please could you make this change to any new copies of the January 1987
- XPG which you currently have or which you obtain in the future.
