CHECK_UTILITY_COMPAT(3)	 BSD Library Functions Manual  CHECK_UTILITY_COMPAT(3)

NAME
     check_utility_compat — determine whether a utility should be compatible

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     check_utility_compat(const char *utility);

DESCRIPTION
     The check_utility_compat() function checks whether utility should behave
     in a traditional (FreeBSD 4.7-compatible) manner, or in accordance with
     IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).	The configuration is given as a comma-
     separated list of utility names; if the list is present but empty, all
     supported utilities assume their most compatible mode.  The
     check_utility_compat() function first checks for an environment variable
     named _COMPAT_FreeBSD_4.  If that environment variable does not exist,
     then check_utility_compat() will attempt to read the contents of a sym‐
     bolic link named /etc/compat-FreeBSD-4-util.  If no configuration is
     found, compatibility mode is disabled.

RETURN VALUES
     The check_utility_compat() function returns zero if utility should imple‐
     ment strict IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) behavior, and nonzero other‐
     wise.

FILES
     /etc/compat-FreeBSD-4-util	 If present, a symbolic link whose expansion
				 gives system-wide default settings for the
				 check_utility_compat() function.

ERRORS
     No errors are detected.

HISTORY
     The check_utility_compat() function first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
