Subject: [PATCH] setlocale.3: tweak C/POSIX locale portability description
Date: Tue, 09 Jun 2015 17:18:09 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5576F5A1.9030202@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

as discussed earlier, the current description might be a little
bit too stringent, let's avoid the issue by describing the
portability aspect on a slightly higher level.
