Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).
Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behaviour
of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
'command' is NULL.
Other wording and formatting clean-ups.

Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60.
SUSv3 says 0..60. I think the manual page probably says
0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
(Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)
The glibc manual currently says 0..60.
Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed this the
manual page to also say this:
-The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61).
+The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60).
+(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)

Hello Joey,
...
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205736
[[
This example contains the following line:
if ((p = realloc (p, size)) == NULL)
return NULL;
This is a very ill written code, since realloc returning
NULL do not deallocate the original memory block. Such a
statement has a potential to become significant memory
hole. I suggest to correct this example since:
1. It may trick naive programmers to write bad code
2. It may lead skeptic observers to the believe
the whole Linux is written in a similar style.
Regards Jan Kuznik
]]
This guy is right on the money!
I've changed that example, so that the above code has been replaced by:
char *np;
...
if ((np = realloc (p, size)) == NULL) {
free(p);
return NULL;
} else {
p = np;
}
Cheers,
Michael
