X/Open is a set of functions and header files. The SunOS Release 4.1 implementation of X/Open is a superset -- it includes all of the functionality described in the /usr/group Standard 1984 -- as well as much of the System V functionality, and much of the SunOS functionality.
All man pages that are associated with X/Open are marked by a ``V'' after the section number. Not all ``V'' pages are X/Open, however. Some ``V'' pages may be part of other System V based environments such as POSIX.1.
If a user desires to work in a X/Open (or System V) environment, the user should set the path variable to include /usr/xpg2bin and /usr/5bin before anything else. The typical path is:
As a portability aid, Sun is providing a lint library that consists exclusively of X/Open functions. Users may lint their code with the -n -lxopen options to catch all non-X/Open features.
X/Open, as with most other environments, continues to evolve. The -lxopen lint library will always refer to the most recent document supported by Sun. Some applications may wish to port to a particular version of the environment; they may safely use the more specific name of -lxpg2 (currently the same as -lxopen).
