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.

...
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).

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.
