Author: kib
Date: Sun Nov 11 01:46:48 2018
New Revision: 340347
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/340347

Log:
  First draft of documentation for AT/O_BENEATH handling of the absolute
  paths.
  
  It was decided that committing the code and drafting of the man page
  update is better than allowing the code to rot until wordsmithing
  happens.
