POSIX 2013 audit Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum, wording changes and more idiomatic expressions. All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools with .St -p1003.1-2013 which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which reflects what we actually did, so who cares? This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1. 2015-03-27 16:22:48 +00:00			`.Dd March 27, 2015`
