SYSTEM V COMPATIBILITY
Digital UNIX provides the libsys5.a library to allow you to use library
functions that are compatible with System V library functions. This
library contains functions for those libc functions whose behavior is
incompatible with POSIX or X/Open standards. The ULTRIX system also
provides a System V compatibility library, libcV.a, which supplies a
number of features similar to those that libsys5.a provides. The most
significant behavior of the functions in this library is the compatiā
bility with System V nonblocked signals. For more information about
the System V (SVID-2) features in Digital UNIX, please refer to the
System V Compatibility User's Guide.
An attempt to unlink nonempty directories will cause the unlink call to
fail and set errno to ENOTEMPTY, even if the process has superuser
privileges. This error behavior is provided to comply with the SVID-2
industry standard
