[LTP] Support needed for LINUX POSIX compliance test

Hi,

We are planning to use LTP for doing POSIX compliance test for one of our project.
LTP covers most of the LINUX POSIX functions.

But I am unable to test few of the stdio POSIX functionalities.
Few of POSIX functions: atoi, atol, calloc, malloc, free, errno, scanf, sprints, system etc .

Can you please let me know how to verify these stdio commands using LTP?

Also need support for testing POSIX compliance for few of the LINUX commands.
POSIX Linux commands: arp, cd, mv, date, echo, file, gdb, kill etc.

Regards,
Pradeep Bola

I've looked around and indeed there are no tests designed specially for
these calls. But quite franky if any of these functions are broken quite
a lot of tests will fail because these functions are used in the tests
and system extensivelly. So from a functional standpoint these are not
that important to test (we don't have 100% coverage and there parts of
the system that are, in my opinion, more important).

If you really need tests designed specially for these functions you can
write them yourself and LTP community will be happy to include them.

Or You can look into tests embedded in glibc, there should be basic
testcases for the stdio streams etc.

Same here, if you need them you can write them yourself. I can give you
hand in integrating them into LTP.

i'm not sure how well suited LTP is to answering the question "my system 
conforms to POSIX".  LTP tests a lot of interfaces and generally expects Linux 
behavior.

if you really care about POSIX compliance, then you should look at the POSIX 
group as they have a testsuite available to verify compliance.  unfortunately, 
it's not free, but if you really are going for certification, you don't really 
have a choice.
