It's at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/toc.htm There are some useful tables at http://www.unix-systems.org/version3/online.html and they ask that you register there so that they know how many people are using the specification. They don't have a downloadable version of this specification, but they do for the previous versions: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/download/ Ken Hirsch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
