It's not present in all systems.
It's present in (4.2andup)BSD-based systems, including System V Release
4. (1/2 :-) - there are plenty of things from BSD in there....) It's
also specified by POSIX, so any POSIX-compliant system will have it.
It's not in vanilla S5R3 from AT&T (unless it snuck into S5R3.2 - some
vendors S5R3-based systems may have added it, but others may not have),
nor in any earlier AT&T releases.
