Hi,

I’ve noticed a small grammar issue in the sigwaitinfo(2) errors list, specifically in EAGAIN. I’ve seen this on the online page: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sigwaitinfo.2.html <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sigwaitinfo.2.html>.

It says:

No signal in set /was became/ pending within the timeout

               period specified to sigtimedwait().

It doesn’t make sense to use “was became”, so one of those words should be removed. I suggest dropping the “was”.

Thanks for the report!
Fixed.  I applied the following patch.

Cheers,

Alex
