40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41.Ss POSIX Standards
42The value of the
43.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
44macro determines which
45.Tn POSIX
46standard the programming environment conforms to.

76Implies

81Defining
82.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
83to any value lower than
84.Li 199009
85(other than
86.Li 1
87or
88.Li 2 )
89makes it default to
90.Li 198808
91which makes definitions conforming to
92.St -p1003.1-88
93visible.
94No C standard is implied in this case.
95.Pp
96Defining the obsolete
97.Dv _POSIX_SOURCE
98macro without defining
99.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
100is equivalent to defining
101.Dv _POSIX_C_SOURCE
102to
103.Li 198808 .
104.Ss X/Open CAE Specifications
105The value of the
106.Dv _XOPEN_SOURCE
107macro determines which X/Open CAE specification the programming
108environment conforms to.

125.Li 200112 .
126This is the default.
127.El
128.Pp
129If both CAE and POSIX conformance is required, only
130.Dv _XOPEN_SOURCE
131can be set.
