RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.18  07-Aug-2009  dsl Add text to the description saying that normal applications should not
use syscall().
Add text to bugs saying that high bits of the syscall number may be masked.
Fixes bug PR/11088
 1.17  23-Nov-2007  dsl Add a note about the difficulty of actually looking at the return value
of __syscall() caused by ABIs (eg sparc) that don't pass the low bits of
a 64 bit result in the same register as a 32 bit result.
 1.16  13-May-2004  wiz branches: 1.16.16;
\- is a minus, not -.
 1.15  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.
 1.14  16-Apr-2003  wiz Use
.In header.h
instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.
 1.13  18-Jan-2003  thorpej Merge the nathanw_sa branch.
 1.12  01-Oct-2002  wiz New sentence, new line. From Robert Elz.

 1.9  31-Jan-2000  christos branches: 1.9.6;
Explain why we don't want to pass structs and unions to syscalls, and
how to find the proper args for a syscall.
 1.8  02-Dec-1999  kleink Add a LIBRARY section to system call manual pages. While it's clear that the
libraries contain stubs only (with minor exceptions a la pipe(2)), the purpose
of this section is to provide linkage information.
 1.7  22-Mar-1999  garbled branches: 1.7.6;
Last of the .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Wheee!
 1.6  29-Aug-1998  lukem first pass at fixing up capitalization of function names and
arguments; ensure that each is correct with respect to the
implementation, rather than being correct as per english.
 1.5  21-Dec-1996  cgd note that __syscall() is prototyped to return a quad_t
 1.4  27-Feb-1995  cgd merge with lite, keeping most local changes. clean up Ids
 1.3  25-Nov-1993  jtc Clean up manpages:
Use .Fn rather than .Nm macro in HISTORY and STANDARDS sections.
Use .At and .St macros instead of spelling out "Version 6 UNIX",
"IEEE 1003.1-1988 (POSIX)", etc.
