Tru64 supports both BSD (actually Unix 95) syntax as well as System V syntax on virtually all commands. In the few cases where the commands conflict, there is an environment variable you can set. Even system calls can take on either BSD or System V behavior by setting the appropriate "habitat". Normally, BSD behavior is the default.
