    Product Standard Commands and Utilities V4 (UNIX 03)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 5.3.21NW
    Test Identification /tset/POSIX.cmd/command/command.ex Assertion 51
    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Location in Spec https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_03.html
    Problem Summary The test for GA 39 for the command utility (Assertion 51) does not actually test the command

    utility.
    Problem Text The test suite code contains the following shell commands:







    > exec 3>&1



    > (



    > trap "" PIPE



    > sleep 2



    > $cmd true



    > echo exitstatus \$? >&3



    > ) | true







    Since "command true" does not produce any standard output, the subshell writes to stdout by

    using "echo" But this then becomes a test of echo, not of command..
    Test Output 400|25 51 1 23:46:27|IC Start



    200|25 49 23:46:27|TP Start



    520|25 49 87897 1 1|Assertion #51 (A): GA39: Error causes message to standard error and non-

    zero exit



    520|25 49 87897 2 1|Standard error is empty



    520|25 49 87897 2 2|"exitstatus [^0]" wasn't found in standard output



    220|25 49 1 23:46:33|FAIL



    410|25 51 1 23:46:33|IC End

    Review Recommendation Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Review Response This is accepted as a fault in the test suite.

    Note that the fault is not correctly identified by the submitter. The
    actual fault is simply that the -v option for "command" is missing.
    I.e. the line:

    $cmd true

    should be:

    $cmd -v true
