A sentence clarifying that pending signal set is union of
per-thread and process-wide pending signal sets.

The page was previously fuzzy about whether the these interfaces
have process-wide or per-thread semantics. (E.g., now the
page states that the calling *thread* (not process) is suspended
until the signal is delivered.)

These words are slightly bogus: although the interface is obsolete,
for ABI-compatibility reasons, the kernel folk should never be changing
this interface.

glibc doesn't provide any support for readdir(2),
so remove these header files (which otherwirse suggest
that glibc does provide the required pieces).

The location of the fields fater d_name varies according to
the size of d_name. We can't properly declare them in C;
therefore, put those fields inside a comment.

The structure isn't currently defined in glibc headers, and the kernel
name of the structure is 'linux_dirent' (as was already used in some,
but not all, places in this page).

As at kernel 2.6.27, only ext[234] support d_type.
On other file systems, d_type is always set to DT_UNKNOWN (0).

Two of the "domain error" cases described on this page are treated in
the same way on Linux, but POSIX.1 specifies some optional differences
for the two cases. Make life easier for future page reviewers/editors
by adding some comments explaining that POSIX.1-2001 distinguishes
the two cases.

In recent changes to the man page, mtk accidentally cganged
the description of the return value range to -pi/2..pi/2;
the corect range is -pi..pi.
Make it clear that the POSIX.1 revision that is likely
to affect the feature test macro requirements for futimens() is
POSIX.1-2008.

The times argument point to *an array of* structures, and the
man-page should say that consistently.
(The '&' before sop in the semop() call is unneeded.)
