faf553262e Since sendfile(2) works on regular files only,
which have no negative offsets, "negative" and
"invalid" are equivalent WRT the offset argument.

3cb7a30757 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.

3df381ba1a Back out previous commit. Even though statfs(2) can take a regular
file as an argument, it may still fail for the same reasons that
open(2) can.

4bc282eb72 Clarify getfsstat(2) usage.
The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count.

The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the
return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out.

Spell this out.
