George Spelvin 7134d7e62c Clarify closedir()'s treatment of underlying file descriptor.
At the end of the paragraph in opendir(3) describing fdopendir(), I
think it's worth adding "The file descriptor will be closed when
closedir() is called."  It's a bit ambiguous if the file descriptor
is closed or "given back" at closedir time.

(I've tested this and verified that it's true, BTW.)

Michael Kerrisk 6dea120e68 Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'.
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).
