Yes, Standard == Committed
Does this mean that all of the man pages have to be fixed up?
I see that the official solaris_nevada man page for, say,
pthread_mutex_init(3C) has this section:
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attri-
butes:
____________________________________________________________
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
|_____________________________|_____________________________|
| Interface Stability | Standard |
|_____________________________|_____________________________|
| MT-Level | MT-Safe |
|_____________________________|_____________________________|
That's what I have in the new man pages for this case (see the
'materials' directory).
