>Description:

The type of fopen() described in the SYNOPSIS section of the manpage does not match to the current declaration / definition.

In the manpage fopen(3):

	     FILE *
	     fopen(char *path, char *mode);

In /usr/include/stdio.h :
	FILE    *fopen(const char *, const char *);

In /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/fopen.c :
	FILE *
	fopen(file, mode)
		const char *file;
		const char *mode;
	{
