EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for
mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error
that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem.
While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both
mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for
UFS for mount(2).

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

- Note that ftruncate(2) can operate on shared memory objects and cross
reference shm_open(2).
- Note that ftruncate(2) does not change the file position pointer (aka
seek pointer) of the file descriptor.
- ftruncate(2) will fail with EINVAL for all sorts of other fd types than
just sockets, so instead note that it fails for all but regular files and
shared memory objects.
- Note that ftruncate(2) also appeared in 4.2BSD along with truncate(2).
(Or at least the manpage for both appeared in 4.2, I did not check the
kernel code itself to see if either predated 4.2.)

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.

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.

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.
