I believe Alex's preference in the Linux man-pages project is to
document what is actually implemented, not to repeat normative language
(paraphrased or not) from the POSIX standard.

So glibc should be tested to verify the behavior it actually exhibits,
and the language above then updated to describe that, noting any
deviation from POSIX's prescription.

The same can, optionally, be done for other libcs like musl.

Alex, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Regards,
Branden
