## E. Subprofiling Considerations (Informative)

This section contains further information to satisfy the requirement that the project scope enable subprofiling of POSIX.1-2008. The approach taken is to include a general requirement in normative text regarding subprofiling and to include an informative section (here) containing a proposed set of subprofiling options.

### E.1 Subprofiling Option Groups

The following Option Groups1 are defined to support profiling. Systems claiming support to POSIX.1-2008 need not implement these options apart from the requirements stated in XBD POSIX Conformance . These Option Groups allow profiles to subset the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1-2008 by collecting sets of related functions.
