Hello,

I believe there's a small error in the document
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/secure-bufferov.html

For "realpath(char *path, char resolved_path[])" the description is "May
overflow the path buffer".

I believe it should read: "May overflow the *resolved_*path buffer" based
on the definition of realpath() found here:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/realpath.html

Cheers,
-Brian
