CVS commit: src/lib/libc/gen

["David A. Holland" <dholland%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   dholland
Date:           Thu Jan 22 04:01:14 UTC 2026

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libc/gen: directory.3

Log Message:
directory(3): caveats for seekdir.

- If the directory being read is altered, past telldir results are
  (potentially) invalidated. Don't promise that they'll work.

- There is no way to detect failure. (It returns void, and while it
  may set errno, the main failure path in the actual implementation
  does not, so even setting errno to 0 beforehand doesn't work.)

Fix a typo elsewhere while passing through. Bump date.
