- Subject: Reference manual incomplete on os.remove() and os.rename()
- From: Oliver Kroth <oliver.kroth@...>

Hi,
recently I came across the fact that in the reference manual for
os.remove() and os.rename() only for the case that they fail a return
value is specified:
"
If this function fails, it returns nil, plus a string describing the
error and the error code.
"
For the successful case, both return true, which makes sense. I had to
make an own implementation of these two functions, and because of the
missing specification, they did at first not behave like the original
versions.
Could someone please add a sentence like
"
, if it succeeds, it returns true.
"
