Milestone:  To Be Determined            |   Component:  Documentation
  Version:  Boost 1.46.1                |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  typo, doc, iostreams, seek  |  
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 There's an error in boost iostreams documentation when it comes to
 describe the constant which the '''seek''' function has to be called with
 to position one of its heads to the end of the file.

 It says

 if way is std::ios_base::'''beg''', the initial position is the end of the
 stream

 it oughta be

 if way is std::ios_base::'''end''', the initial position is the end of the
 stream

 It's always been the same, since its first release, 1.33.0.
