🌸 PROLOG 🌸

so like, heads up first: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. that means the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux and something's giving different energy, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. also possible: the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 🙈 no cap, just check.
