PRB: EACCES Misspelled as EACCESS in C 6.0/6.0a “C Reference” ID Number: Q71205

6.00 6.00a 6.00ax | 6.00 6.00a MS-DOS | OS/2 docerr

Summary:

The ERRNO error code constant EACCES is spelled incorrectly in a number of C run-time library function descriptions in the “Microsoft C Reference” that ships with C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax. The constant is listed as EACCESS, but it should be EACCES in order to correspond to the ERRNO.H header file and the C run-time library. The error code is spelled correctly in the online help system.

The following is a list of the function descriptions that contain the misspelled constant, and the pages where they appear:
