====== version history of POSIX::1003

All changes are made by Mark Overmeer, unless stated otherwise.
# . ::FS manual needs cleanup, f.i. split lists of constants
# . the main component of exporter in POSIX::1003 useful enough to become
#   a separate module.
# . add epoll/epoll_ctl ?  Sys::Syscall
# . add sendfile?  Sys::Sendfile
# . add ioctl?
# . add (bsd_)glob with its many flags
# . add POSIX::RT::Semaphore logic?
# . cleanup exampleValue(), probably doing too much
# . charset of $!  strerror()  perl#119499
# . linux: CAP_* capset etc
# . linux: _LINUX_ properties
# . *bsd: _BSD_ properties
# . hpux: PRIV_*, pstat, priv_add_effective, priv_remove, privgrp
# . aix: PV_*
# . linux memfd* and F_*SEAL*

# . implementation of nl_langinfo
# . change in ::Module of detection of constants which need autogeneration
# . charset of locale only via nl_langinfo(CODESET)
