State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 14 22:37:10 PDT 1998 
State-Changed-Why:  
This, strictly speaking, is not a typo. file.h includes fcntl.h so it works. 
Thus, this really devolves down to an API question: what does POSIX have to 
say about which of those include files is supposed to define FREAD?

State-Changed-When: Sun Aug 16 09:37:05 PDT 1998 
State-Changed-Why:  
This is just a BSD documentation error, and not a POSIX issue.  (POSIX 
terminal interface issues are documented in termios(4); TIOCFLUSH and 
FREAD/FWRITE are obsolete BSD interfaces).  I've fixed the manual page 
as suggested, though.
