f56be64fb2 ``NULL is a specific instance of a null pointer constant; the generic is
a "null pointer".''

Making good use of the excellent explanations sent to me by Ruslan
Ermilov, Garrett Wollman and Bruce Evans, correct the descriptions of
null pointers.  They are just "null pointers", not nil, not NULL or
".Dv NULL".

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.

a7af55af93 * Modernize aio(4), providing instructions for static and dynamic kernel
linking.

* Fix disorder in the SEE ALSO sections of aio_*(2).

* Remove unnecessary cross-references from the SEE ALSO sections of
  aio_*(2); config(8), kldload(8) and kldunload(8) are cross-referenced
  from aio(4).

* Remove the KERNEL OPTIONS sections from aio_*(2), now that these
  pages cross-reference aio(4), which contains suitable kernel linking
  reference material.

9466cad206 Correct the description of the timeout argument. I've examined
the code, which seems to implement the POSIX requirements, and
have described the behavior here.  Basically, it behaves the same
as select(2).
