|    A single buffer is used for all of the paths of all of the files in the

|    fts_read() are attempted.  The fts_name field is always NULL-terminated.

Both of these are strings.

document FTW_ACTIONRETVAL;
include .SH "RETURN VALUE";
reorganized and rearranged the page

I'm not sure I can break the third one up, and it won't be well
represented in a diff.  I think the page reads much more clearly now,
anyway.
