- I lack access to the POSIX standards, either adopted or proposed, so
- this seems a good place to ask this.
-
- Does the user interface standard (or whatever it's called) make
- any reference to the "vacation" program -- i.e., is vacation(1)
- a required or optional part of a POSIX implementation.
-
- I'm basically looking for a yes or no answer, although if this
- _is_ part of POSIX, a short note about its similarity to the BSD
- vacation program would also be appreciated.
-
- (I hope that wasn't _too_ unintelligable.)
-
- Also, if there is an FAQ repository for such things as the Tables of
- Contents of the various POSIX sections, a pointer to this would
- also be appreciated.
-
- Thanks much,
-
