Summary0000014: fopen() See Also
DescriptionShould the fopen() SEE ALSO list include a pointer to XSH Subclause 2.5 (Standard I/O Streams)?

A discussion on fopen() and open() on the alias today made it clear that the submitter hadn't read the overall description of STDIO streams while trying to figure out how fopen() sets the streams file position indicator.

The standard assumes that users have read XBD clauses 1 through 11 and XSH chauses 1 and 2 before trying to interpret the System Interfaces descriptions in XSH. Obviously this doesn't always happen.
Desired ActionNote that the issue was discussed, but do not change the standard.

It is agreed that we should add a reference to XSH 2.5 for all functions in stdio.h

Similar changes should also be made for all FILE-related functions in wchar.h.
