| Summary | 0001433: The use of carriage-return in pr | ||||
| Description | On https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pr.html I see that -p waits for <carriage-return>. Is this intentional? I see that OpenSolaris (System V), Unix 10th edition, FreeBSD, and NetBSD pr wait for <newline> ('\n') and not <carriage-return>. I did not find an implementation which waits for <carriage-return>. Also, in grepping the entire POSIX standard for carriage-return and \r I find very few uses of it, while uses of <newline> for user input are universal. | ||||
| Desired Action | Figure out whether pr should truly wait for <carriage-return> or not. | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard states thar pr waits for <carriage-return>, and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- This is not the way any implementation works and conflicts with similar requirements for other utilities. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- On page 3108 line 103918 section pr, change: <carriage-return>to: <newline> |
