--- Comment #1 from Alejandro Colomar (man-pages) (alx.manpages@xxxxxxxxx) ---
It seems reasonable to have doubts about if (ret == EAI_SYSTEM && errno == 0)
can happen, with the current wording.

Perhaps we can use a wording similar to most pages' RETURN VALUE section:

[
EAI_SYSTEM  Other system error; errno is set to indicate the error.
]

This is more explicit in that "errno is _set_".

Hmm?
