✨ PROLOG ✨

So like, real talk first: 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. OR, plot twist, the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all. 😭 Anyway. Noted. Moving on.
