That's Unix(POSIX), not C. What are you doing, implementing a C compiler or an Unix-on-Dos emulation (as a cygwin for dos)?

The page says it is aligned with C, but the popup says that paragraph is an extension to C, so it would still be interesting what a newer C standard (C99) says about it. I may have that at work, which I can't access now.

That was the whole point of my post, to make the separation between POSIX and C.
