-# serial 1
-# Set the default level of POSIX conformance at configure-time.
-# Build with `./configure DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 ...' to
-# support the older version, thus preserving portability with
-# scripts that use sort +1, tail +32, head -1, etc.
-# Note however, that this breaks tools that might run commands
-# like `sort +some-file' that conform with the newer standard.

-     Use `DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209' to
-     enable option handling that is compatible with POSIX 1003.2-1992.
-     CAUTION: this makes tools like head, tail, uniq, and sort accept
-     options that start with `+'; but such `options' must be treated
-     as files, according to the more recent POSIX 1003.1-2001 standard.
-     This option also makes head, tail, etc. accept options like -1
-     and -30.  Use of this build-time option merely sets the default.
-
-     Use `DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=200112' to
-     enable option handling that is compatible with POSIX 1003.1-2001.
-     CAUTION: this makes tools like head, tail, uniq, and sort treat
-     as files arguments that start with `+'.  This also makes options
-     like -1 and -30 (to e.g. head, tail) invalid.  Instead you must
-     use the -n 1 or -n 30 form.
