syslog.2: Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR
...
The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear
the ring buffer; rather it affects the semantics of what
is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and
4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR).

After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS
...
of several Section 2 pages using the _syscallN() macros.
In addition:
-- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed
on various pages.
-- types such as "uint" in syscalN() declarations were changed
to "unsigined int", etc.
-- various other minor breakages in the synopses were fixed.
