Heads up before we go any further, because this matters 💅

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. Also possible: the interface might just straight up not be implemented on Linux at all. 😭 No cap.
