+=====================
+
+* An "Availability: Unix" note means that this function is commonly found on
+ Unix systems. It does not make any claims about its existence on a specific
+ operating system.
+
+* If not separately noted, all functions that claim "Availability: Unix" are
+ supported on Mac OS X, which builds on a Unix core.
