Hi, I was looking why execveat(..., ..., ..., ..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) was returning -ENOENT for me and figured that the ERRORS section of the manual page would not provide the correct explanation. Lower in the NOTES section, I eventually discovered the cause, but I think it would be useful to have this noted in the ERRORS section directly. Hence, I am proposing a patch to add this reference.
