System name: podge
Type and version: KN01 7.4H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
Compile a program.
What's wrong:
The following functions have empty prototypes in <sys/stat.h>
extern mode_t umask();
extern int
chmod(),
fstat(),
mkdir(),
mkfifo(),
stat();
The argument types to these functions are specified in POSIX
1003.1. They should be included here. Example:
#ifdef __STDC__
int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);
...
What should have happened:
ULTRIX has done this for other files (e.g., string.h). I
suppose they never got around to fixing lowly <sys/stat.h>.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
POSIX 1003.1
