🌸 PROLOG 🌸

real talk first: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so like… go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the tea on Linux behavior), or — plot twist — the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all. 😭

no cap, this is the "your mileage may vary" disclaimer of the manpage world.
