Hi,
Thanks for the information.
How do we verify that it complies with 1003.1-2001?
Is there any POSIX conformance test suite available?

I have checked the IEEE 1003.1-2001 standards in the below
link:
http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/

It says the System shall support all utilities, functions, and
facilities defined within IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 to get the POSIX
conformance and shall set the symbolic constant _POSIX_VERSION to the
value

If NetBSD closely complies to the above standards is it good to change
the POSIX version
value in src/sys/sys/unistd.h  to 200112L??

Awaiting for your reply.

Thanks & Regards,
Channa
