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).

The man pages were rather inconsistent in the use of "Unix"
versus "UNIX". Let's go with the trademark usage.

Michael Kerrisk 44732c9c88 sendfile.2, wctrans.3, wctype.3, pipe.7, zic.8: Global fix: s/Non-/Non/
The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "non-" etc.
