<p>First released in Issue 1. Derived from Issue 1 of the SVID.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_255_12"></a>Issue 6</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>In the SYNOPSIS, the optional include of the <a href="../basedefs/sys/types.h.html"><i>&lt;sys/types.h&gt;</i></a> header is
removed.</p>
<p>The following new requirements on POSIX implementations derive from alignment with the Single UNIX Specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The requirement to include <a href="../basedefs/sys/types.h.html"><i>&lt;sys/types.h&gt;</i></a> has been removed. Although <a
href="../basedefs/sys/types.h.html"><i>&lt;sys/types.h&gt;</i></a> was required for conforming implementations of previous POSIX
specifications, it was not required for UNIX applications.</p>
</li>
</ul>
