The sentence mentions twice POSIX.1-2001.
I guess the second one should be POSIX.1-2008.
This should be checked in the standard.

Nicolas François 6316fce396 pthread_getcpuclockid.3: Minor fixes
Looking at the man page, this is not a family of functions.
So "returns" is right, "functions" should be "function".

Michael Kerrisk 6b34fb3f5a execve.2, pipe.2, tee.2, fmemopen.3, mq_notify.3, qsort.3: Replace use of assert() by code that checks argc
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13569

As noted by Andrey:
The purpose of the assert macro, defined in <assert.h>,
is to provide a tool to check for programming mistakes
or program logic errors. However, the assert macro must
never be used to perform checks for run time errors,
since, with the NDEBUG macro defined, expressions within
the assert macro invocations are not evaluated/checked
for, resulting in behavior that was not originally intended.
...
The pages affected in the core package are

execve(2)
pipe(2)
tee(2)
fmemopen(3)
mq_notify(3)
qsort(3)

Michael Kerrisk f9d5775ff8 getaddrinfo.3: Note nonstandard assumed hints.ai_flags value when hints is NULL
When hints is NULL, glibc assumes hints.ai_flags is
AI_V4MAPPED|AI_ADDRCONFIG whereas POSIX says 0.
According to Ulrich Drepper, glibc's behavior is better.
