Dear Mr. Colomar,

Hello Ole,

We are currently overseeing a university course on systems programming that
uses the POSIX 2008 interfaces. There are some interfaces in the newer POSIX
2024 specifications that we would like to use, as they eliminate some common
pitfalls. However, there are seemingly no man pages anywhere for the newer
standard.

Thus I wanted to ask kindly if you have any idea when (or if) man pages for
POSIX 2024 will be available?

Currently, there are no POSIX.1-2024 manual pages.

The main problem is that the POSIX sources are not public.  Michael, the
previous maintainer, had agreed (AFAIK) with POSIX to receive privately
a copy of POSIX (I don't know in which format; IIRC, it was HTML?), and
then run them through a script to produce the published POSIX manual
pages.  I find the burden of that to be too excessive.

If POSIX makes their roff sources public (preferably, in a git
repository) (not necessarily under a free software license, but publicly
readable), I'd be happy to work with those.  That depends on the
Copyright holders (IEEE and the Open Group).

Kind regards,
Ole Wiedemann

Have a lovely day!
Alex
