FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE and FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE

>Description:

	There is a mistake in the ``RETURN VALUES'' section
	in the strmode(3) manual page:
	
RETURN VALUES
     The strmode() function always returns 0.

	But strmode(3) is declared as:

void
strmode(mode_t mode, char *bp);

	so, it returns no value.

>How-To-Repeat:

Simply remove the ``RETURN VALUES'' section.
