Hello,

This patch set updates the POSIX/SUS history of system calls with
identifiers starting with CI through G.  It also attempts to provide
chronological order where possible, similar to the last patch set.

Although this set does begin to touch on man pages with a peculiar
listing in their HISTORY sections.  Namely, "4.4BSD (first appeared in
4.2BSD)".  I ordered these as if they were just "4.4BSD", since that's
not inside the brackets and so should be more important (otherwise I'd
assume it'd just say "4.2BSD" instead).  Although I'm not confident in
this choice, so any thoughts regarding this would be appreciated.

I'd replace such a thing by 4.2BSD, as you suggest.


Cheers,
Alex
