       [Tru64  UNIX]	Application developers may want to specify an #include
       statement for <sys/types.h> before the one for <unistd.h>  if  programs
       are  being  develped  for  multiple  platforms. The additional #include
       statement is not required on Tru64 UNIX systems or by ISO or Open Group
       standards,  but	may be required on other vendors' systems that conform
       to these standards.
