c36029e6dc Consistently reference file descriptors as "fd". 55 other manpages 
used "fd", while these used "d" and "filedes".

e0c980d95d The sys/uio.h header is needed only for readv(2), preadv(2), writev(2) and 
pwritev(2). Document it more precisely.

27111d392c Minor markup fix: A comma should be seperated by space from macro 
argument.  This resulted in "pwritev,()" instead of the intended
"pwritev()," in the output.

bcd9e0dd20 - Add two new system calls: preadv() and pwritev() which are like readv() 
and writev() except that they take an additional offset argument and do
  not change the current file position.  In SAT speak:
  preadv:readv::pread:read and pwritev:writev::pwrite:write.
- Try to reduce code duplication some by merging most of the old
  kern_foov() and dofilefoo() functions into new dofilefoo() functions
  that are called by kern_foov() and kern_pfoov().  The non-v functions
  now all generate a simple uio on the stack from the passed in arguments
  and then call kern_foov().  For example, read() now just builds a uio and
  calls kern_readv() and pwrite() just builds a uio and calls kern_pwritev().

9a0cabd9e4 Explain it is a negative offset that EINVAL may indicate. 
Now readers won't get an impression that pointing to beyond
the current end of file will result in EINVAL.

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.

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.
