    Problem Summary PIN4C.00062 An alternative behaviour is allowed, where the umask is applied to the mode specified with -m.
    Problem Text
    The tests for -m options were changed to correspond to the POSIX.2B
    requirements. However our system still exhibits the behavior of using
    the umask, which is still correct behavior per PASC interp 1003.2-92 #124

    Review Information

    Review Type TSMA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The need for an interpretation to be granted that will allow this
    alternative behaviour was anticipated, and was mentioned in the
    VSC5.1.2 release notes.

    A Permanent Interpretation is recommended.

    Note that although the results of test 23 appear not to correspond to
    either of the allowed behaviours, this is because the value of the -m
    option argument passed to mkfifo is reported incorrectly by the test.

    Review Type SA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Resolution Permanent Interpretation (PIN)
    Review Conclusion
    A Permanent Interpretation is granted.
