Yang Xu 43ebbd1925 semctl.2: Correct SEM_STAT_ANY description
Since kernel commit a280d6dc77eb
("ipc/sem: introduce semctl(SEM_STAT_ANY)"),
it only skips read access check when using SEM_STAT_ANY command.
And it should use the semid_ds struct instead of seminfo struct.
Fix this.

Michael Kerrisk cb6a894ee7 Various pages: Standardize wording around setting of 'errno' on error
In the RETURN VALUE sections, a number of different wordings
are used in to describe the fact that 'errno' is set on error.
There's no reason for the difference in wordings, since the same
thing is being described in each case. Switch to a standard
wording that is the same as FreeBSD and similar to the wording
used in POSIX.1.

In this change, miscellaneous descriptions of the setting
of 'errno' are reworded to the norm of "is set to indicate
the error".

Alejandro Colomar 554afbe862 circleq.3, list.3, slist.3, stailq.3, tailq.3: Improve readability, especially in SYNOPSIS
- Group macros by kinds.
- Align so that it's easiest to distinguish differences
  between related macros.
  (Align all continuations for consistency on PDF.)
- Fix minor typos.
- Remove redundant text:
    'The macro xxx() ...':
        The first paragraph already says that these are macros.
    'circular|tail|... queue':
        Don't need to repeat every time.
        Generic text makes it easier to spot the differences.
- Fit lines into 78 columns.
- Reorder descriptions to match SYNOPSIS,
  and add subsections to DESCRIPTION.
- srcfix: fix a few semantic newlines.

I noticed a bug which should be fixed next:
CIRCLEQ_LOOP_*() return a 'struct TYPE *'.

Michael Kerrisk c466875ecd Various pages: Improve formatting in ATTRIBUTES
Make the formatting more consistent inside the tables in the
ATTRIBUTES sections. Make the source code more uniform; in
particular, eliminate the use of custom tweaks using
'lbwNN'/'lwNN' and .br macros.  In addition, ensure that
hyphenation and text justification do not occur inside the tables.

This is a script-driven edit:

[[
PAGE_LIST=$(git grep -l 'SH ATTRIBUTES' man[23])

# Strip out any preexisting .sp/.br/.ad macros

sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/{/^\.sp/d; /^\.br/d; /\.ad/d}' $PAGE_LIST

# Eliminate any use of 'wNN' in tables; default first column
# to fill unused space

sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/s/lbw[0-9]*/lb/g' $PAGE_LIST
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/s/lw[0-9]*/l/g' $PAGE_LIST
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/s/^lb /lbx /' $PAGE_LIST

# Nest the tables inside ".ad l"+".nh" and ".hy"+".ad"+".sp 1"
# ".ad l" ==> no right justification of text in table cells
# ".nh" ==> No hyphenation in table cells
# ".sp 1" ==> ensure a blank line before the next section heading

sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/{/\.TS/i.ad l\n.nh
}'  $PAGE_LIST
sed -i '/SH ATTR/,/^\.SH/{/\.TE/a.hy\n.ad\n.sp 1
}'  $PAGE_LIST

# In a few of the tables, the third column has a lot of text, so
# make that column wide (rather than the first column)
