            Bug ID: 213341
           Summary: Man Page for ferror/feof has bad information in
                    "Return Value" Section
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: vulkur@protonmail.com
        Regression: No

Within the man page for ferror and feof, there is a description for the return
value of feof twice. The second description is for ferror.


>This:
>       The feof() function returns nonzero if the end-of-file indicator
>       is set for stream; otherwise, it returns zero.
>
>       The feof() function returns nonzero if the error indicator is set
>       for stream; otherwise, it returns zero.

>Should be this:
>       The feof() function returns nonzero if the end-of-file indicator
>       is set for stream; otherwise, it returns zero.
>
>       The ferror() function returns nonzero if the error indicator is set
>       for stream; otherwise, it returns zero.

This was fixed a few weeks ago in my tree :)

See
<https://github.com/alejandro-colomar/man-pages/commit/9e1f28a8595ce90e7905635faf8542cf8bd674b6>.

It's not yet merged into Michael's tree, though.

Anyway, thanks,

Alex
