c0dd63a8a8 Add back the Standards section claiming conformance to 1003.1-2001 and
C99 now that all known standards-related bugs have been fixed.

5a98f074e6 Rearrange strerror() so that its itoa procedure can be used with
strerror_r().  Doing this allows us to ensure that strerror_r() always
fills the supplied buffer regardless of EINVAL or ERANGE errors.

strerror()'s semantics have changed slightly such that an argument of
0 is now considered invalid and errno is set to EINVAL.

Remove internal regression test for strerror() and strerror_r().  This
will be reincarnated in src/tools/regression/lib/libc/string.

In strerror(3), add a comment about strerror()'s bogus return type.

6f9ed74abc Remove the Standards section again until we get these functions sorted
out. This will probably have to wait until after 5.0-R.

edafcb6d73 Add a Standards section, claiming conformance to IEEE Std. 1003.1-2001.
Also add a note to the Bugs section pointing out that strerror() and
perror() share the same static buffer.

556f162ac0 Make strerror and strerror_r use sys_errlist[0] for errnum = 0. Be
more careful about reporting truncation with ERANGE in strerror_r.
Set errno to EINVAL for "unknown" errnum in strerror as required
by P1003.1-200x Draft June 14, 2001.

More carefully document the handling of strerrbuf when errors
(ERANGE, EINVAL) are encountered in strerror_r.

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.

6a59f3db1a Added `const' to types of sys_errlist and sys_nerr.

Say a little about inconsistent declarations of sys_errlist in the BUGS
section.
