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

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.)
Change made after a note cross-posted on linux-arch@vger,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.ports.hppa/5615
and a suggestion for write(2) from Carlos O'Donell
