-/* This function makes no attempt to protect the user from his/her own
- * stupidity. If called any time but when then ISO C standard specifically
- * allows it, all hell can and will break loose, especially with threads!
- *
- * This implementation ignores all arguments except the buffering type,
- * and uses the existing buffer allocated alongside the FILE object.
- * In the case of stderr where the preexisting buffer is length 1, it
- * is not possible to set line buffering or full buffering. */
+/* The behavior of this function is undefined except when it is the first
+ * operation on the stream, so the presence or absence of lockign is not
+ * observable in a program whose behavior is defined. Thus no locking is
+ * performed here. No allocation of buffers is performed, but a buffer
+ * provided by the caller is used as long as it is suitably sized. */
