Use

.In header.h
instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.

Remove description of EINVAL, "The pathname contains a character with the
...
high-order bit set", as this error is obsolete.
Eventually we may want to add code to some of the "optional" filesystems
(msdosfs, etc.) that checks for illegal characters. At that time it would
be appropriate to reintroduce this error with appropriate text. Perhaps
"The pathname contains a character that is not valid for filesystem type".
