# 295765 18-Feb-2016 bjk

Bump .Dd for r295764

Also fix a spelling and grammar nit while here.


# 295764 18-Feb-2016 sobomax

Right now, the "virtual hole" API feature of lseek(2) is very vaguely
documented and easy to miss.

At the same time, it's pretty important for anyone who is trying to use
SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA in real app. Try to bridge that gap by making that
description more pronounced and also document how it affects failure codes.

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.

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality

bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
