b41e0f0f56 Document the new PT_LWPINFO request. In fact, the request is so new
it hasn't even been implemented yet. I just wanted to be the first
to try a new approach to development ;-)

ccfddc1cce Clarify the behavior of ptrace(2) a little bit: the tracing process
must first attach to the traced process.  If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued.  For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors).  It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time.  When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace().  Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

8a16327d58 Make the documentation of PT_STEP match its implementation: the
`data' parameter is not ignored; if non-zero, it specifies a signal
number to be delivered to the traced process.

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.

033d275cb0 PT_STEP in ptrace(2) man page is described as 'addr and data fields
are not used'.  This is incorrect, as addr must be passed (caddr_t)1
to do anything useful.  The source for gdb and a short test program
will confirm that this man page was in error.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
