Michael Kerrisk efb92ba155 getdents.2, readdir.3: d_type is currently only supported on ext[234]
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).

Michael Kerrisk c42ad30f8c fma.3: Add some source code comments explaining two domain error cases.
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.

André Goddard Rosa 7b80ee9bff strcpy.3: Avoid redundantly filling the position 'n - 1' two times in strncpy() example code
When we use 'strncpy(buf, str, n)', strncpy() will fill chars from 0..(n - 1).
As we force the character at position 'n - 1' to be '\0' anyway, don't fill
it in strncpy() before.

George Spelvin 7134d7e62c Clarify closedir()'s treatment of underlying file descriptor.
At the end of the paragraph in opendir(3) describing fdopendir(), I
think it's worth adding "The file descriptor will be closed when
closedir() is called."  It's a bit ambiguous if the file descriptor
is closed or "given back" at closedir time.

(I've tested this and verified that it's true, BTW.)

André Goddard Rosa 6fa5dff6b4 tsearch.3: dispose properly of allocated resources in example code
As there are many users who base their own code on these examples,
we should avoid leaking memory when using functions of tsearch() family.
In the provided example, tsearch() leaks memory whenever it tries to
insert a number which was already inserted before.

Also: include use of tdestroy() in example program.
