Summary 0000371: Further changes needed to match the OPEN_MAX change
Description In the revision the description of OPEN_MAX was changed from:

    Maximum number of files that one process can have open at any
    one time.

to:

    A value one greater than the maximum value that the system may
    assign to a newly-created file descriptor.

There are two other places that need to change to match this. One
is the description of _POSIX_OPEN_MAX, the other is the definition
of the term "file descriptor".
Desired Action At page 275 line 9066 section limits.h change:

    Maximum number of files that one process can have open at any
    one time.

to:

    A value one greater than the maximum value that the system may
    assign to a newly-created file descriptor.

At page 60 line 1763 section 3.166 change:

    The value of a file descriptor is from zero to {OPEN_MAX}. A
    process can have no more than {OPEN_MAX} file descriptors open
    simultaneously.

to:

    The value of a newly-created file descriptor is from zero to
    {OPEN_MAX}-1. A file descriptor can have a value greater
    than or equal to {OPEN_MAX} if the value of {OPEN_MAX} has
    decreased (see [xref to sysconf{}]) since the file descriptor
    was opened.
