A note from earlier today says the HTML edition will be available soon. I assume that means it will show up here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

I never knew it was a real thing. Always assumed it was some kind of legacy frozen and dead apis that systems keep insisting on saying they support "posix". Well TIL.
Any highlights from those in the know?
- I care mostly about shell scripting, so I'm focusing on those bits. Via the HackerNews thread, mostly from a-french-anon:
  
  readlink and realpath
  
  find -print0, xargs -0 and read -d
  
  find -iname
  
  sed -E
  
  set -o pipefail
  
  $' ' strings
Is posix still relevant in any way?
- Yes.
  
  Why?
Am too surprised that it is an evolving standard, so I was curious to read a little, then...
