@subheading DESCRIPTION:
-The @code{dump_setpath} function defines the pathname where process
-dumps are written.
+If {_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 shall fail.
