Michael Kerrisk 546f67f3cd ctime.3: ctime_r() and localtime_r() need not set 'timezone' and 'daylight' 
The man page already noted that these functions need not set
'tzname', but things could be clearer: it tzset() is not called,
then the other two variables also are not set.

Also, clarify that ctime() does set 'timezone' and 'daylight'.

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.)

insert a number which was already inserted before.

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

Michael Kerrisk c359e37d82 Clarify description of getcwd() for buf==NULL case; 
CONFORMING TO: According to POSIX.1, the behavior of getcwd()
is unspecified for the buf==NULL case.
Add an introductory paragraph giving an overview of what these functions do.
Fix error in description of getwd(): it does not truncate the
pathname; rather, it gives an error if the pathname exceeds PATH_MAX bytes.
Rewrote RETURN VALUE section.
Add EINVAL ENAMETOOLONG errors for getwd().
Various other clarifications and wording fixes.
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2001 does not define any errors for getwd().
