06c8ab0c3c Don't suggest
if (error = function(a1, a2))

since it causes a warning with -Wall.  Change it so it has an explicit test
against zero,

	if ((error = function(a1, a2)) != 0)

4444ad36bf Declaring functions inside functions was deprecated twice. Keep the
second recommendation, which includes more rationale, and nix the first.

f0cddd5353 Clarify the guidelines surrounding the use of macros. The patch is
mostly unrelated to the attributed PR, and the attributed submitter
wasn't so much suggesting the patch for inclusion as providing it
for clarity.

044e09a0a8 1. "braces" -> "brackets" when referring to [ and ].
PR:		19894
Submitted by:	Tony Finch <dot@dotat.at>

2.   "brackets" -> "angle brackets" when referring to < and >.

3.  Clean up the bit about creating the usage() message.  After clarifying a
couple of points the sentence became rather long, and rather poor English, so
it was converted to a enumerated list instead.

b7c42f7dde * State in words that "#define^IMACRO" is proper, as it is hard to tell
from the example.
* Embelish the usage() example to show how uppercase options are sorted.

0983f2b022 English fixes: consistent spacing after periods, "userland", not "user land",
other typos, ~four grammar gnits, an ironic case of incorrect
               parallelization, bad capitalization, an incorrect use of the
               infamous slash ('/'), and an unclear sentence.

4ac29fd62e Bruce noted that the use of err(), fixed to errx() in the last commit,
did not specify an exit code.  This implies the use of either a hand-
rolled err() (Bruce's suggestion) or a random error code (my suggestion),
both of which are against the style guidelines.  This commit specifies
the correct error code (implicitly).  This also changes the error message
to be a little more helpful.

c9c42d0aa7 Added some advice to avoid typedef'ing structures, as this breaks
information-hiding.  Also recommended against naming typedefs to end
in _t unless POSIX or ANSI requires it, and in favor of using queue(3)
macros to generate lists rather than rolling one's own.

81f2fe8dca Convert this to a real man page. Using one blurb of a .Bd -literal

Also slightly adopt the contents to the results of a discussion that
took place in -core some months ago.  We couldn't agree on everything,
but some of the previous sentiments were rather outdated.
