man3/getgrnam: clarify possible errno values when entry not found

Update ERRORS section to clearly separate the POSIX-mandated '0' return
for 'not found' from the various non-POSIX errno values encountered in
different UNIX implementations.

The patch does much more than this.  Please send separate patches for
logically separate changes.


Have a lovely night!

My gmail account classified the original message in this thread as SPAM, as
well
as the other message from this sender.

I looked at one of them, thought that gmail got it wrong and pressed
"report not spam".

Then I looked at the other message and started suspecting more. Searching
the net
for the email address strengthens my suspicion.
Thanks!
I suppose the recent discussion about preventing use of AI for submissions
didn't
help much so far in actually preventing these, and stronger means will be
needed :-(.
Yup, I'm suspecting, especially after v2 is also crap.
I've also seen a patch from someone else containing an example program
containing weird UTF space characters that don't even compile.
I suspect that was pasted from some AI chat.  We'll have to be careful
about it.

About stronger means, I'm not sure we can enforce much.  I'm open to
suggestions.  For now, I'll remain careful and skeptic about anything
that looks suspicious.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
