The description of readv() begins with "The readv() function shall be equivalent to read(), except as described below", and nothing "below" says that one of the exceptions is that the async-signal-safe requirement for read() does not apply to readv(). Likewise for writev(). Desired Action: Add readv() and writev() to the table. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare New Issue 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare Section => 2.4.3 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare Page Number => 494 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare Line Number => 17135,17137 2021-03-02 14:16 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
