    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/POSIX.os/files/creat/T.creat 23 Failed

    Test Description:
    If _POSIX_PATH_MAX <= {PATH_MAX} <= PCTS_PATH_MAX, then ENAMETOOLONG
    in errno and a return value of -1 on a call to creat(path, mode) when
    the length of the path argument exceeds the maximum number of
    characters in a pathname {PATH_MAX};
    otherwise
    a call to creat(path, mode) when the length of the path argument
    equals PCTS_PATH_MAX does not give an ENAMETOOLONG error.
    Posix Ref: Component CREAT Assertion 5.3.2.4-50(A)

    Test Strategy:
    IF pathconf() returns a value of PATH_MAX <= PCTS_PATH_MAX, and not -1
    CREATE a file via a pathname of length PATH_MAX using creat()
    VERIFY that creat() returned successfully
    CREATE a file via a pathname of length PATH_MAX+1 using creat()
    VERIFY that creat() returned -1 and errno was set to ENAMETOOLONG
    OTHERWISE
    CREATE a file via a pathname of length PCTS_PATH_MAX using creat()
    VERIFY that creat() returned successfully

    Test Information:
    creat("<1023 char path>", 0777) did not give correct results
    RETURN VALUES: expected: -1, observed: 6
    ERRNO VALUES: expected: 78 (ENAMETOOLONG), observed: 0 (NO ERROR)

    /tset/POSIX.os/files/mkfifo/T.mkfifo 12 Failed

    Test Description:
    If _POSIX_PATH_MAX <= {PATH_MAX} <= PCTS_PATH_MAX, then ENAMETOOLONG
    in errno, a return value of -1 and the FIFO shall not be created on a
    call to mkfifo(path, mode) when the length of the path argument
    exceeds the maximum number of characters in a pathname {PATH_MAX};
    otherwise
    a call to mkfifo(path, mode) when the length of the path argument
    equals PCTS_PATH_MAX does not give an ENAMETOOLONG error.
    Posix Ref: Component MKFIFO Assertion 5.4.2.4-33(A)

    Test Strategy:
    IF pathconf() returns a value of PATH_MAX <= PCTS_PATH_MAX, and not -1
    CREATE FIFO with a pathname of length PATH_MAX using mkfifo()
    VERIFY that mkfifo() returned 0
    CREATE FIFO with a pathname of length PATH_MAX+1 using mkfifo()
    VERIFY that mkfifo() returned -1 and errno was set to ENAMETOOLONG
    OTHERWISE
    CREATE FIFO with a pathname of length PCTS_PATH_MAX using mkfifo()
    VERIFY that mkfifo() returned 0

    Test Information:
    mkfifo("<1023 char path>", 0777) did not give correct results
    RETURN VALUES: expected: -1, observed: 0
    ERRNO VALUES: expected: 78 (ENAMETOOLONG), observed: 0 (NO ERROR)

    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The failures mentioned above are covered by the Permanent Interpretation
    PIN4.006. The previous waiver reference to PIN4.026 is incorrect since
    PIN4.026 is an interpretation against the XNFS test suite. The applicant
    should use PIN4.006 for VSX4 branding applications rather than using PIN4.026.
    It is recommended that this request is refused as there is already a permanent
    interpretation covering this issue.

    Review Type SA Review

    Review Resolution Rejected (REJ)
    Review Conclusion
    This request is refused.
