Review Response
While it is recognised that there is a typographical misnomer in the description
of cxref which may lead the reader to assume that dir refers to a directory, I
do not believe that this leads to an ambiguity in the specification. The cxref
specification defers to the c89 specification for the definition of the -U
option. The fact that cxref gives [-U dir] and c89 gives [-U name] makes no
difference to the syntax or semantics of the calls since dir and name are user
supplied objects of the type described in the c89 specification.

I agree that the use of [-U dir] is somewhat misleading and should be changed
to [-U name] for the purposes of improved readability, but I do not believe
that the use of dir changes the specification in any way.

I recommend that this request is refused on the grounds that no interpretation
is necessary.
