Summary:
In the online help for the HELPMAKE utility shipped with Microsoft C
versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax, there are several errors in the example
for making help databases with rich text format (RTF) files. Because
of these errors, HELPMAKE cannot encode the example.
The following is the RTF example from the online help. Below the
listing are the necessary corrections.
Online Help RTF Example
-----------------------
1. {rtf0
2. >> open \par
3. {\b Include:} <fcntl.h>, <io.h>, <sys\\types.h>, <sys\\stat.h>
4.
5. {\b Prototype:} int open(char *path, int flag[, int mode]);\par
6. flag: O_APPEND O_BINARY O_CREAT O_EXCL O_RDONLY\par
7. O_RDWR O_TEXT O_TRUNC O_WRONLY\par
8. (can be joined by |)\par
9. mode: S_IWRITE S_IREAD S_IREAD | S_IWRITE\par
10. \par
11. {\b Returns:} a handle if successful, or -1 if not.\par
12. errno: EACCES, EEXIST, EMFILE, ENOENT\par
13. \par
14. {\b See also:} {\u Example}{\v open.ex},\par
15. {\u Template}{\v open.tp}, access, chmod, close,
16. creat, dup, dup2, fopen, sopen, umask\par
17. }
1. Line 1 needs a backslash before "rtf". It should read:
{\rtf0
2. "\u" in lines 14 and 15 is not RTF formatting code. "\ul" is the
correct code. Line 14 should read:
{\b See also:} {\ul Example}{\v open.ex},\par
3. "\par" is needed on the end of line 15 for the formatting to be
consistent. Line 15 should read:
{\ul Template}{\v open.tp}, access, chmod, close,\par
