@ page 0 line 0 section asctime editorial {1}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

Under RETURN VALUE, it states, "Upon successful completion, asctime() shall 
return a pointer to the string." The phrase "Upon successful completion" 
implies that unsuccessful completion is possible, in which case it should state 
what it returns. If successful completion is the only possibility, the phrase 
should be dropped, as it's confusing.

Action:

As above, depending on the intended meaning.
