Summary 0000641: symlink() path1 does not need to contain characters
Description The second paragraph of the symlink() description says:

    The string pointed to by path1 shall be treated only as a
    character string and shall not be validated as a pathname.

However, there is no requirement for path1 to contain valid
characters, and therefore the word "character" should not be
used.
Desired Action Change "character string" to "byte string".

There is a definition for "character string" and for "string". There is no definition for "byte string". I agree that "character string" is inappropriate here, but the fix is just to change "character string" on P2057, L 65053 to "string"; not to "byte string".

At page 2057 line 65053 [XSH symlink], change "character string" to "string".
