This html version of this standard is made available under the following terms and conditions.
The html has been generated from the original troff sources by Andrew Josey and Geoff Clare of The Open Group. The intent has not been to produce a verbatim copy of the pdf version but to utilize the uniqueness of the different media with its support for hyperlinking and searching. In cases of conflict the printed version is the master copy and takes precedence.
The translation process has used a tool known as genhtml which takes the troff and produces html output. The W3C Tidy tool has been used as part of the production process. Additional scripts have been run to do further html cleanup and to produce the indices.
This version utilizes style sheets for the general layout affecting all the pages (choice of fonts and some shading) and a piece of javascript to open up the help page in a separate browser window. A frames and a non-frames interface have been provided. The html output is HTML 4.01 Transitional, note that it has also been possible to produce XML from the same source using the W3C Tidy tool. If you find the font sizes too small, either switch off the style sheets in your browser, or set your browser to override the document fonts.
