🚨 PROLOG 🚨

Real talk before anything else: 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 deets on Linux behavior, okay?), or the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all. Not me finding out the hard way 😭
