   Sorry, can't help you here. Maybe someone else can.   
      
   Myself I only access the Unix man pages as they come,   
   i.e. using either 'man entry' or 'man section entry'.   
   The POSIX information is usually textually integrated   
   in the man pages.

   That's what I'm doing, and I see, for example,   
      
   ...   
   HISTORY   
           rand()   
           srand()   
                  SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, POSIX.1-2001.   
      
           rand_r()   
                  POSIX.1-2001.  Obsolete in POSIX.1-2008.
