Yes! The filename posix.sgml is just historical, it could be better named api.sgml, I guess, but here we are. Have a look, it contains various chapters with all APIs which follow some lead, SUSv4, BSD, Linux, Solaris, deprecated or "other". In case of the XDR calls, they should probably go into the Solaris section, unless you think they fit better in one of the other sections. > 2010-03-02 Charles Wilson <...> > > * new-features.sgml (ov-new1.7.2): Describe XDR support.
