Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
If a file stream open in append mode and its underlying file descriptor are used in tandem and the file is truncated using the ftruncate function on the file descriptor, a subsequent ftell call on the stream incorrectly modifies the file offset by seeking to the new end of the file. This fix now ensures that ftell modifies the stream state only when it is in append mode and the buffer for the stream is not empty.
