2faeeff4c9 mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language.
Stop calling system calls "function calls".

Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".

When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.

ac8f990bde This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset
Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.

Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%.  For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.

I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

fbc400a67a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

7bdf80e571 Correctly use .Fn instead of .Nm to reference function names
in a bunch of man pages.

Use the correct .Bx  (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.
