Hi all,
I noticed the fopen man page specifies that fopen in mode "a+"
positions the stream at the end of the file.
I think this is correct with respect to writes.
However, fopen(blah, "a+") followed by ftell() returns 0,
and fopen(blah, "a+") followed by fread() returns data
from the beginning of the file.
Is it possible to have the man page more accurately reflect the
semantics of 'a+'?
Thanks,
Josh Redstone
