Bug#454545: readdir_r documentation does not describe observed behavior

[Daniel Burrows <dburrows@debian.org>]

Package: glibc-doc-reference
Version: 2.7-1
Severity: normal

  The readdir_r documentation states that:

     Normally `readdir_r' returns zero and sets `*RESULT' to ENTRY.  If
     there are no more entries in the directory or an error is
     detected, `readdir_r' sets `*RESULT' to a null pointer and returns
     a nonzero error code, also stored in `errno', as described for
     `readdir'.

  However, I seem to get a 0 return value from readdir_r even at the end
of the directory; I have to check the value of *RESULT to see whether
I'm at the end.
