Summary:
The documentation for the WritePrivateProfileString function on pages
4-462 through 4-464 of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit
Reference Volume 1" includes the following statement in the
description of the lpFileName parameter:
The WritePrivateProfileString does not create a file if lpFileName
contains the fully qualified pathname of a file that does not
exist.
This statement is incorrect. The WritePrivateProfileString function
does create the file under these conditions.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be an error in version 3.0 of the
Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) documentation.
This error has been corrected on Page 996 of the "Microsoft Windows
Version 3.1 Software Development Kit Programmer's Reference,
Volume 2: Functions".
