In the USG (AT&T) Unix System V Release 2 Programmer Reference Manual
lists the calling sequence for setvbuf(3S) [under setbuf(3S)] as:
int setvbuf (stream, buf, type, size)
the actual code, however, is looking for:
int setvbuf (stream, type, buf, size)
This problem will be reported to the Unix Hotline shortly.  Oh, another
one just cropped up as well:  the documentation for lex(1) in the
Release 2 Support Tools Guide shows ';' after the REJECT macro call
in all of their examples; but the code will not compile if you put
';' after REJECT.
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY do they release faulty documentation?????
