Hello,
This patch set updates the POSIX/SUS history of system calls with
identifiers starting with CI through G. It also attempts to provide
chronological order where possible, similar to the last patch set.
Although this set does begin to touch on man pages with a peculiar
listing in their HISTORY sections. Namely, "4.4BSD (first appeared in
4.2BSD)". I ordered these as if they were just "4.4BSD", since that's
not inside the brackets and so should be more important (otherwise I'd
assume it'd just say "4.2BSD" instead). Although I'm not confident in
this choice, so any thoughts regarding this would be appreciated.

clock_getres(2), clock_gettime(2), and clock_settime(2) first appeared
in POSIX.1-1996.[1] SUSv2 incorporates POSIX.1-1996, so listing both is
redundant.

getrlimit(2) and setrlimit(2) first appeared in SUSv1.[1] The functions
were added to POSIX.1-2001 when POSIX and SUS merged, but as an XSI
extension (still SUS-only).[2] Then POSIX.1-2024 added them to the base
specification.[3]

I'd replace such a thing by 4.2BSD, as you suggest.

Are you sure SUSv2 incorporates POSIX.1-1996? Could you please show
sources for that?

We can reference the following SUSv2 PDF:
CAE Specification, System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 5.
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009639399/toc.pdf>
Section 1.6 "Relationship to Formal Standards", page 11 states:
Great care has been taken to ensure that this specification is
fully aligned with the following formal standards:
- ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996
- ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993
- ISO/IEC 9899:1990
- ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amendment 1:1994 (E) (MSE)
- Federal Information Procurement Standards (FIPS) 151-2.
Any conflict between this specification and any of these
standards is unintentional.
Additionally, section 1.7 "Portability", page 12 states:
This document describes a superset of the requirements of the
ISO POSIX-1 standard and the ISO C standard. [...] (The ISO
POSIX-1 standard is identical to IEEE Std 1003.1-1996, which is
often referred to as the POSIX.1 standard. [...])
For context, page xiii defines "ISO C" as ISO/IEC 9899:1990 including
Technical Corrigendum 1:1994 and Amendment 1:1994. And "ISO POSIX-1" as
ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996.
So SUSv2 XSH is a superset of POSIX.1-1996 and C95.

Take care,

Thanks! And then I guess POSIX.1-1996 would also be based on C95.
This is quite interesting!
Have a lovely night!

Hi again,
v2 now treats listings of both 4.2BSD and 4.4BSD as equivalent to just
4.2BSD, and thus removes the redundant mention of 4.4BSD in such cases.

clock_getres(2), clock_gettime(2), and clock_settime(2) first appeared
in POSIX.1-1996.[1] SUSv2 incorporates POSIX.1-1996, so listing both is
redundant.

Technically these functions came from POSIX.1b (1003.1b-1993), which
was a set of optional realtime extensions to POSIX, published as a
separate document. POSIX.1-1996 integrated them into the main
standard (1003.1-1996) as part of a Timers extension. In 1997 X/Open
adopted them to SUSv2 as part of their own X/Open Realtime extension,
which includes the POSIX Timers extension and other extensions that
had been added to POSIX from POSIX.1b.

Thanks! For now, I think I'll take the patch, even if the commit
message is factually incorrect. We can then do a future round of
patches researching those less common POSIX extension standard.
Does this sound good?
Have a lovely day!
