| Summary | 0001962: Remove FORTRAN support from the file utility |
|---|
| Description | Since FORTRAN was dropped from POSIX, it seems out of scope to mandate that the file utility should detect FORTRAN programs even though implementations can continue to do so (given the "but is not limited to" formulation). |
|---|
| Desired Action | Remove the FORTRAN entry from the table in the STDOUT section. There is no need to remove mentions of FORTRAN in the rationale since that's just historical context and also mentions other things not mandated by POSIX (e.g., SCCS archives, assembly programs, troff source, etc.). |
