Thiago Jung Bauermann 4a63f626b5 getrlimit.2: Mention unit used by RLIMIT_CORE and RLIMIT_FSIZE
It would have been obvious that these limits are in bytes, except that
"ulimit -a" in at least bash, dash and zsh says that they're in blocks.
This confused me, so I had to check the kernel source code.

My understanding is that they are indeed in bytes, so mention this
information in the man page.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
