 @subheading DESCRIPTION:
 
-If @code{_POSIX_DUMP} is defined:
-
-   The @code{dump_setpath} function defines the pathname where process
-   dumps are written.  The pathname pointed to by @code{path} shall 
-   define where a process dump file will be written if the calling 
-   process terminates with a dump file.  The @code{path} argument 
-   shall not name a directory.
-
-   If the @code{path} argument is NULL, the system shall not write a
-   process dump file if the calling process terminates with a dump 
-   file.  If the @code{dump_setpath} function fails, the pathname for
-   writing process dumps shall not change.
-
-Otherwise:
+The @code{dump_setpath} function defines the pathname where process
+dumps are written.  The pathname pointed to by @code{path} shall 
+define where a process dump file will be written if the calling 
+process terminates with a dump file.  The @code{path} argument 
+shall not name a directory.
 
-   The @code{dump_setpath} function shall fail.
+If the @code{path} argument is NULL, the system shall not write a
+process dump file if the calling process terminates with a dump 
+file.  If the @code{dump_setpath} function fails, the pathname for
+writing process dumps shall not change.
 
 @subheading NOTES:
 
+The @code{_POSIX_DUMP} feature flag is defined to indicate
