So, how would the following text be for the man page?

    ERRORS
       EFAULT t  points  outside your accessible address space.  On sys‐
              tems where the C library time() wrapper  function  invokes
              an  implementation  provided by the vdso(7) (so that there
              is no trap  into  the  kernel),  an  invalid  address  may
              instead trigger a SIGSEGV signal.

Thanks,

Michael
