Description guy 2006-12-02 21:40:09 UTC 
The top-of-tree confstr.c correctly (as per http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/confstr.html) returns 0 for errors.  The man page, however, says it returns -1.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:

  Modified files:
    lib/libc/gen         confstr.3 
  Log:
  o As POSIX requires confstr(3) returns zero on errors, not -1.
