 4 Program Behavior for All Programs
 ***********************************
 
 This chapter describes conventions for writing robust software.  It
 also describes general standards for error messages, the command line
 interface, and how libraries should behave.

 
* Non-GNU Standards           We consider standards such as POSIX;
                                   we don't "obey" them.
* Semantics                   Writing robust programs.
* Libraries                   Library behavior.
* Errors                      Formatting error messages.
* User Interfaces             Standards about interfaces generally.
* Graphical Interfaces        Standards for graphical interfaces.
* Command-Line Interfaces     Standards for command line interfaces.
* Option Table                Table of long options.
* Memory Usage                When and how to care about memory needs.
* File Usage                  Which files to use, and where.
