Subject: Do we break POSIX?
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 14:37:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031110143701.S16119@lemuria.org> (raw)
One point brought up by Theo DeRaadt during PacSec was that according
to POSIX, write operations can not return a permission denied error.
I could not argue with him on that because I have not actually read the
POSIX standard, but he has a valid point in that breaking standards
would be a big no.
Does anyone know immediately if this is so and if we are indeed
breaking POSIX? If nobody can answer that, I will find out myself, as
I've promised him to check.
