Michael Kerrisk 7fc3d0580b syslog.2: Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR 
The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear

is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and
4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR).

Michael Kerrisk 27bada1fa1 getrlimit.2: Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit 
Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler
has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises
the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the
limit is encountered.  No other implementation that I tested
(Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems
unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific)
RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
