| Summary | 0000641: symlink() path1 does not need to contain characters | ||||
| Description | The second paragraph of the symlink() description says: The string pointed to by path1 shall be treated only as a character string and shall not be validated as a pathname. However, there is no requirement for path1 to contain valid characters, and therefore the word "character" should not be used. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change "character string" to "byte string". | ||||

There is a definition for "character string" and for "string". There is no definition for "byte string". I agree that "character string" is inappropriate here, but the fix is just to change "character string" on P2057, L 65053 to "string"; not to "byte string". |

At page 2057 line 65053 [XSH symlink], change "character string" to "string". |
