            Bug ID: 20687
           Summary: Non-conformant error description in errlist.c
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.24
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: igor.liferenko at gmail dot com
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The standard[1] says:

    EILSEQ          Illegal byte sequence

but glibc-2.24/sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c has this:

    [ERR_REMAP (EILSEQ)] = N_("Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide
character")

glibc tries to conform to the standard[2], so this should be fixed.
