Michael Kerrisk 009cdc2239 timerfd_create.2: Note behavior when timerdfd_settime() old_value is NULL 
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?641513
timerfd_settime(2) states that "The old_value argument returns a
structure containing the setting of the timer that was current at
the time of the call"; however, it does not mention that the
caller can pass NULL to ignore that value.  Only the example
shows that the caller can pass NULL.

Akira Fujita fe0ed23f6f sendfile.2: Since 2.6.33, 'out_fd' can refer to any file type 
Linux kernel commit cc56f7de7f00d188c7c4da1e9861581853b9e92f
meant sendfile(2) can work with any output file.
Therefore the 'out_fd' of sendfile(2) can refer to any file
(since Linux 2.6.33).

Seonghun Lim 7ac6478bdf err.3: Clean up description of error message source 
In the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION section, one of the
sources of error messages is incorrect: the four functions obtain
error message only from errno, and "a code" is just relevant
with errc() and warnc(), which are not present on Linux.
see http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/ERR/ .

Then, the third paragraph becomes a duplicate.
