| Summary | 0001651: make: options '-k' and '-S' are listed separately | ||||
| Description | In the synopsis, the options '[-k|-S]' are listed separately from the other options. Line 104553 says: > If the k and S options are both specified on the make utility command line or [...] This wording suggests that these options do not need to be listed separately. | ||||
| Desired Action | Merge the -k and -S options into the other non-argument options. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
The situation described here is not uncommon for mutually exclusive options, and is the reason XBD 12.1 item 8 says "The use of conflicting mutually-exclusive arguments produces undefined results, unless a utility description specifies otherwise." The make SYNOPSIS should not be changed. |
