Summary0000118: flockfile() says "all functions" but should exclude *_unlocked()
DescriptionThe flockfile page says:

    "All functions that reference (FILE *) objects shall behave as if
    they use flockfile() and funlockfile() internally to obtain
    ownership of these (FILE *) objects."

This contradicts the descriptions of getc_unlocked(), putc_unlocked(),
etc. which say:

    "These functions may safely be used in a multi-threaded program if
    and only if they are called while the invoking thread owns the
    (FILE *) object, as is the case after a successful call to the
    flockfile() or ftrylockfile() functions."
Desired ActionChange:

    "All functions that reference (FILE *) objects shall behave ..."

to:

    "All functions that reference (FILE *) objects, except those
    with names ending in _unlocked, shall behave ..."
