to zero, so there is no need to set it unless an error occurs.
If an error does occur, the function should return @code{EOF} and set
-@code{*errcode} to a non-zero value. In that case, if @code{*errcode}
-does not equal @minus{}1, @command{gawk} automatically updates
+@code{*errcode} to a value greater than zero. In that case, if @code{*errcode}
+does not equal zero, @command{gawk} automatically updates
the @code{ERRNO} variable based on the value of @code{*errcode}.
(In general, setting @samp{*errcode = errno} should do the right thing.)
