34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm standards
37.Nd standards supported by DragonFly
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Fd "#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600"
40.Pp
41.In sys/cdefs.h
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43A number of
44.Dq feature test macros ,
45namely
46.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
47and
48.Dv _XOPEN_SOURCE ,
49can be used by applications to indicate desired sets of features (beyond
50those specified by the C standard) in the programming environment supplied by
51.Dx .
52These macros determine which prototypes are exposed by header files and so on.
53.Pp
54If neither
55.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
56and
57.Dv _XOPEN_SOURCE
58are set, the programming environment defaults to
59.St -susv3 .
60In addition, a number of
61.Bx
62specific prototypes, definitions etc.\& are made visible.
63.Ss POSIX Standards (_POSIX_C_SOURCE)
64The value of the
65.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
66macro determines which
67.Tn POSIX
68standard the programming environment conforms to.

100This is the default.

109Defining
110.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
111to any value lower than
112.Li 199009
113(other than
114.Li 1
115or
116.Li 2 )
117makes it default to
118.Li 198808
119which makes definitions conforming to
120.St -p1003.1-88
121visible.
122No C standard is implied in this case.
123.Pp
124Defining the obsolete
125.Dv _POSIX_SOURCE
126macro without defining
127.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
128is equivalent to defining
129.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
130to
131.Li 198808 .
132.Ss X/Open CAE Specifications (_XOPEN_SOURCE)
133The value of the
134.Dv _XOPEN_SOURCE
135macro determines which X/Open CAE specification the programming
136environment conforms to.
137.Bl -tag -width ".Li 500"
138.It Li 500
139Make defintions conforming to the

155.It Li 700
156Make definitions conforming to

158and to the corresponding XSI extensions visible.
159.El
160.Pp
161If both CAE and POSIX conformance is required, only
162.Dv _XOPEN_SOURCE
163can be set.
