I'm sorry but I cannot quite believe that... maybe that was the plan
or intent, but even the SUSv3/POSIX 1003.1-2001 lists at least these:
char *asctime_r(const struct tm *, char *);
char *ctime_r(const time_t *, char *);
struct tm *gmtime_r(const time_t *, struct tm *);
struct tm *localtime_r(const time_t *, struct tm *);
int readdir_r(DIR *, struct dirent *, struct dirent **);
int strerror_r(int errnum, char *strerrbuf, size_t buflen);
int ttyname_r(int fildes, char *name, size_t namesize);
int getpwnam_r(const char *, struct passwd *, char *,
size_t, struct passwd **)
int getpwuid_r(uid_t, struct passwd *, char *,
size_t, struct passwd **);
int getgrgid_r(gid_t, struct group *, char *,
size_t, struct group **);
int getgrnam_r(const char *, struct group *, char *,
size_t , struct group **);
If vendor's manpage says: X is thread-unsafe, use X_r instead for MT
applications, I believe that, rather than a book.
