     The possible values of level are:
 
      3    Compatible with X/Open Portability Guide 1988 (XPG-3)
      4    Compatible with X/Open CAE Specification (XPG-4)
 
     Specifying XOPEN with no parameter is the same as specifying
     XOPEN "4". Note that XPG-4 specifies options for several environments.
     If available, the options available are as follows:
 
      o  Single Byte Internationalization Support is enabled using the
         NLS directive
      o  National Character Support is enabled using the DBCS "3"
         directive
