In the event of an error, these two functions set errno to
indicate the cause of the error.
This seems clear to me, or, otherwise, I really am missing your

After, looking at this for quite a while, I am not convinced there's
an issue here. %e is returned as just the basename of the executable
path, and %t and %E seem even less problematic.
If you think there's an issue, it would be good to show a worked
example of how an "innocent" core_pattern pipe
uite a long time back (2014). Take a look at
http://man7.org/linux-man-pages/man2/adjtimex.2.html ; does that

Actually, other operating systems also seemed to come to the same

Not sure where this idea originates. There is no Section 9 on Linux.
And there's certainly precedent for section 5 pages on filesystems.
For example, among others, we have ext4(5), btrfs(5), and nfs(5).
I'm not sure what the best path forward here is.
