    Test Identification Base/ftruncate 18
    Problem Summary PG4U.00155 The implementation does not make basename visible through -l c.
    Problem Text
    This failure is similar to lockf (42,43), readv(70,71,72)
    and writev(75,76,77).

    In our implementation the function basename() is not
    part of the standard-lib libc.a but is a member of
    a lib, which is defined within VSU_USER_LIBS in tetbuild.cfg.

    Is there a requirement of UNIX98 what functions must be
    found in libc ?

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The c89 requirements in the XCU specification state:

    -l c This operand makes visible all library functions referenced in the
    XSH specification with the possible exception of those
    functions listed as residing in <aio.h>, <math.h>, <mqueue.h>,
    <pthread.h>, <sched.h>, <semaphore.h>, pthread_atfork() in <unistd.h>
    and those functions marked as an RT extension in <sys/mman.h> and
    <time.h>. This operand is not required to be present to cause a
    search of this library.

    As basename resides in libgen.h it does not fall under the possible
    exceptions listed in this requirement and thus must be made visible
    without requiring the inclusion of libraries other than libc. Though
    the function does not need to reside in a particular file such as
    libc.a, -l c must be sufficient to cause it to be available to the
    application.
