[Bug 345062] [NEW] fread(3) man page EXAMPLES section is misleading

[Jared D. McNeill]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: manpages-posix-dev

Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10
manpages-posix-dev:
  Installed: 2.16-1
  Candidate: 2.16-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.16-1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The EXAMPLES section of the fread(3) man page uses the following
snippet:

              #include <stdio.h>
              ...
              size_t bytes_read;
              char buf[100];
              FILE *fp;
              ...
              bytes_read = fread(buf, sizeof(buf), 1, fp);
              ...

However, fread returns the number of elements read, not the number of
bytes read.

** Affects: manpages-posix (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
