    I see what you mean. The point is back then that SS_ONSTACK was
    the only flag that could (on Linux) be specified in ss.ss_flags,
    so that "SS_ONSTACK | SOMETHING_FLAG" was a nonexistent case.
    These days, it's possible to specify the new SS_AUTODISARM
    flag in ss.ss_flags, which I think is why you are doubtful
    about the new page text.

Lucas Werkmeister 81c8aeb649 proc.5: Clarify permissions in /proc/[pid]/fd/ 
Since the symbolic links for pipes and sockets do not refer to real
files in the file system tree, it can be hard to discover that they
still have mode and ownership information (revealed e.g. by `stat -L`),
so let's point this out in the manpage.

G. Branden Robinson 9ab7f611ed Replace Latin abbreviation "cf.". 
People seem to be using "cf." ("confere"), which means "compare",
to mean "see" instead, for which the Latin abbreviation would be
"q.v." ("quod vide" -> "which see").

In some cases "cf." might actually be the correct term but it's
still not clear what specific aspects of a function/system call
one is supposed to be comparing.

I left one use in place in hope of obtaining clarification,
because it looks like it might be useful there, if contextualized.

Migrate these uses to English and add them to the list of
abbreviations to be avoided.

If the patch to vfork(2) is not accepted, then the cf. still needs
an \& after it because it is at the end of the line but not the
end of a sentence.
