28 gethostname, putmsg, putpmsg, getaddrinfo
29 + _XOPEN_SOURCE=700 and __EXTENSIONS__ are defined by default, if not
30 specified. most third-party software already uses these on Solarises in an
31 attempt to get a somewhat sane compilation environment

33 interfaces _LARGEFILE_SOURCE, _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE and _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is

72 comm, cut, join, kill, logname, paste, rev, sleep, tee, test, uniq, wc
73 * autofs is disabled by default
74 * zoneinfo data moved from /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo to /usr/share/zoneinfo

134 * man(1) is mandoc. mandoc.db support added, eliminating the need for
136 * socket interfaces are now in libc. libsocket, libxnet and libnsl remain as
138 * socket implementation was modified to be more reasonable by default, and it
139 is no longer possible to choose an alternate socket implementation.
140 msg_accrights was removed and msg_control members are now always visible in
142 Documentation was updated and moved to section 2: accept(2), bind(2),
143 connect(2), getpeername(2), getsockname(2), getsockopt(2), listen(2),
144 recv(2), send(2), shutdown(2), socket(2), socketpair(2), and the new

146 * make(1) is bmake(1) instead of dmake(1)
147 * sed(1) replaced with a version imported from FreeBSD
148 * locale data has been updated to CLDR v28; tools to generate it were imported
