Alright, so it turns out that this is not accurate because of Ulrich
Drepper's beNtoh() versus OpenBSD's betohN() deviation.
(and FreeBSD into the mix is even more muddled: they got an earful from
Theo de Raadt over this issue)
Suggestion:
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
These functions are non-standard. The BSDs contain similar but not wholly identical functions in header file
.I <sys/endian.h>
(instead of glibc's
.IR <endian.h> ).
It grates that this mealy-mouthed text is longer than the source changes
required to fix the differences, but hey.
