    Problem Summary _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL and _POSIX_SAVED_IDS cannot be meaningfully defined
    for a PSE52 system
    Problem Text IEEE Std 1003.1-2002 requires that the _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL and
    _POSIX_SAVED_IDS constants be greater than zero although a PSE52
    conforming system does not have to support either of the units of
    functionality POSIX_USER_GROUPS and POSIX_JOB_CONTROL. These constants
    should be allowed to have a value of -1 (option not supported) or at
    least 0 so that the application uses sysconf() to determine whether
    those functionality are supported.
    Test Output ***********************************************************************
    /tset/POSIX.hdr/misc/unistd_3/T.unistd_3 49 Failed


    Test Description:
    For PSE52 mode:
    The header file contains a definition for the symbolic
    constant
    _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL with a value greater than zero.
    For POSIX01 and UNIX03 modes:
    The header file contains definitions for the symbolic
    constants
    _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL and _POSIX_SAVED_IDS, with values
    greater than
    zero.
    For FIPS, XPG4 and UNIX98 modes:
    If the header file contains definitions for the symbolic
    constants
    _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL and _POSIX_SAVED_IDS, then they each
    have a
    value not equal to -1.
    For POSIX90 and POSIX96 modes:
    Not in use.


    Test Strategy:

    COMPILE program including <unistd.h>.
    IF test mode is POSIX01 or UNIX03
    VERIFY symbolic name is defined
    IF symbolic name is defined
    VERIFY value is as required
    VERIFY there were no compiler errors.


    Test Information:
    _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL is -1, expected > 0
    Feature test macros: -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112
    Compiler or run-time messages or results:
    <NIL> (no results or messages produced)
    _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL is -1, expected > 0
    Feature test macros: -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112 -D_POSIX_SOURCE
    Compiler or run-time messages or results:
    <NIL> (no results or messages produced)

    Review Resolution Interpretation (INT)
    Review Conclusion There is an outstanding POSIX.13 interpretation request ( 1003.13 #4)
    regarding the conflict between POSIX.13 and POSIX.1 over the value of
    the symbol _POSIX_JOB_CONTROL

    An interpretation is granted, contingent on the pending resolution of
    the POSIX.13 interpretation as proposed in the 1003.13 interpretations
    committee.
