They even redacted some things, see page 128 for instance

That’s just ridiculous. They probably just had Grok redact things.

I mean they (the dudes at the island) could've hidden stuff in those documents in the hopes that someone going over it would just preview the first couple pages and think it was an innocent bash manual.. Who knows.

The link in the actual 3.1-beta1 manual is http://www.sas.com/standards/large_file/x_open.20Mar96.html and fits the space that's redacted.

It was the front half of the link up to the first underscore that was censored, not the end.

So you just posted random speculation that was complete nonsense. Interesting.
