lib/libc/sys : read.2 symlink.2 truncate.2
Log message:
Some system calls can fail due to an open-ended variety of causes
in many underlying subsystems and device drivers. guenther@ pointed
out this applies to system calls taking a file descriptor as an
argument. deraadt@ warned against attempting to be excessively
precise and against spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
So apply a minimal patch that merely avoids the misleading wording
"will succeed unless", given that the lists aren't really exhaustive,
and simply uses a more usual wording.
Unfortunate wording reported by <David dot Raymond at nmt dot edu>.
