Summary

0000589: fileno() EBADF error needs updating

Description

The fileno() ERRORS section has an optional EBADF error:

The stream argument is not a valid stream, or the stream is not
associated with a file.

Now that the standard has fmemopen() and open_[w]memstream(),
implementations are required to support streams that are not associated
with a file. Therefore, the second part of this condition should be
made mandatory.

I also propose that the first part is changed for consistency with
fgetc() and fputc(), whose EBADF errors are of the form "The file
descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file descriptor open for
reading" (for fgetc(); "... writing" for fputc()).

Desired Action

Replace the entire ERRORS section with:

    The fileno() function shall fail if:

    [EBADF]  The stream is not associated with a file.

    The fileno() function may fail if:

    [EBADF]  The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file
             descriptor.
