I have one more change that could be included in this patch set, since it is part of upgrading to POSIX.1-2008, but since it's a quite complex change, and has important side effects, I'll keep it in a separate PR. So, this is ready! :) |

However, don't stop using functions that were once required by POSIX.1-2001 that were good functions, and which have been removed by POSIX.1-2008 without good reasons. For example, continue using
bzero(3). However, there may be functions that were removed with a good reason. We should stop using those.
