That form is more consistent, logical, precise, and internationally
recognizable than the other variants.
Also, some wording has been altered as well.

get_thread_area.2 is a system call.
Other manpages seems to differentiate functions (i.e. (g)lib(c) functions)
and system calls. This make it more consistent.

...
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)

As reported by Motohiro:
"man poll" describe this error code.

but current kernel implementation ignore invalid file descriptor,
not return EBADF.
...
In the other hand, SUSv3 talk about
> POLLNVAL
> The specified fd value is invalid. This flag is only valid in the
> revents member; it shall ignored in the events member.
and
> If the value of fd is less than 0, events shall be ignored, and
> ireevents shall be set to 0 in that entry on return from poll().
but, no desribe EBADF.
(see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html )
So, I think the implementation is correct.
Why don't we remove EBADF description?

It was noted on lkml that the fork behaviour is documented

Here is a patch which adds a small blurb that folks will
hopefully find useful.
Upon fork(), the child process does not inherit the
io_context_t data structures returned by io_setup,
and thus cannot submit further asynchronous I/O or
reap event completions for said contexts.

accept.2, read.2, recv.2, send.2, write.2: Fix discussion of EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors
...
For a non-blocking socket, POSIX.1-2001/2008 allow either
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK to be returned in cases where a call
would have blocked. Although these constants are defined
with the same value on most Linux architectures (PA-RISC
is the exception), POSIX.1 does not require them to have
the same value. Therefore, a portable application using
the sockets API should test for both errors when checking
this case.
(NB POSIX.1 only mentions EWOULDBLOCK in the context of
the sockets interfaces.)

Trivial punctuation fixes in SEE ALSO
...
In SEE ALSO, when a few man pages are referenced, those are divided by commas.
Every reference is on a separate line, and all lines but the last one should
end with comma. I spotted one place where there is no comma in between
references, and mocked up an awk script to find similar places:
for f in man*/*; do awk '/^.SH ["]SEE ALSO["]/ {sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next } /^\.(PP|SH)/ {sa=0; no=0; next} /^\.BR/ { if (sa==1) { print; if (no == 1) print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0 } } /^\.BR .*)$/ { if (sa==1) no=1; next } /\.\\"/ {next} /.*/ { if (sa==1) { print; next }}' $f; done | fgrep 'Missing comma'
This patch fixes all the places found by the above script.
Also, there is an extra dot at the end of uri.7 "SEE ALSO" section.
Removed as per man-pages(7) recommendation.
