It would be useful to include some words which describe the
significance of this to real-world userspace.  If a real application is

So a manpage update is due.  It would be useful to send this along
while people are reviewing the code changes.  Please cc Michael Kerrisk
and linux-man@vger.kernel.org on everything.

There's a lot to look at here.  I guess now would be a good time to
refresh and resend.
