Summary0000403: FTW_F meaning is ambiguous
DescriptionThe third argument to the user-supplied function that is the second argument to ftw() and nftw() can take one of several values.
Unfortunately, FTW_F and FTW_D are not mutually exclusive.
The description of these two values are "file" (FTW_F) and "directory" (FTW_D), but since a directory is a type of file, FTW_F could always be used in any case where FTW_D could be used.
The standard needs to clarify whether FTW_F really means "regular file" or means
"non-directory file".

Given the man pages for FreeBSD and Mac OS X, I assume the correct term is regular file. (The Linux man page uses "normal file".)
Desired Action
Change:
        "FTW_F    File."
in XBD <ftw.h> on P254, L8333 to:
        "FTW_F    Regular file."

Change:
        "FTW_F    For a file."
on XSH ftw() P964, L32261 to:
        "FTW_F    For a regular file."

Change:
        "FTW_F    The object is a file."
on XSH nftw() P1369, L44907 to:
        "FTW_F    The object is a regular file."
