This item is tagged for TC3-2008.
At page 784, line 26542 exec DESCRIPTION, change:
The argument path points to a pathname that identifies the new
process image file.
to:
For the execl(), execle(), execv(), and execve() functions, the
argument path points to a pathname that identifies the new
process image file.
At page 784, line 26543 exec DESCRIPTION, change:
The argument file is used to construct a pathname ...
to:
For the execlp() and execvp() functions, the argument file is
used to construct a pathname ...
On page 2368 line 75615 section 2.9.1.1, change:
If the executable file is not a text file, the shell may bypass
this command execution. In this case, it shall write an error
message, and shall return an exit status of 126.
to:
The shell may apply a heuristic check to determine if the file
to be executed could be a script and may bypass this command
execution if it determines that the file cannot be a script.
In this case, it shall write an error message, and shall return
an exit status of 126.
<small>Note: A common heuristic for rejecting files that cannot
be a script is locating a NUL byte prior to a <newline> byte
within a fixed-length prefix of the file. Since sh is required
to accept input files with unlimited line lengths, the heuristic
check cannot be based on line length.</small>
