Subject: man2/: Use the common name 'fd' instead of 'fildes'
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=499c8056a2a32343292aae4894d4c0f4b295766d;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

man2/: Use the common name 'fd' instead of 'fildes'

File descriptors are commonly called 'fd'.  'fildes' is weird and
confusing.
