This page was written in 2015. However, on netbsd.org, NetBSD 7.1 is the current latest release. Also, when exactly do we consider reallocarray being available in NetBSD since the page only states that the redesigned version, reallocarr (note the missing 'ay') is available from 8.0. I am not very familiar with the different BSDs and am unable to make much sense out of this.

NetBSD 8 has not been released yet. The man page was written well in advance of the release. I wouldn't worry about the possibility that reallocarray is removed before NetBSD 8 is official.

I agree that we shouldn't worry about that possibility. But what is the first NetBSD version that includes `reallocarray`? Since the man page only states when it was first added to OpenBSD. I'm concerned with what should go into the documentation.

Also, it's now called "macOS", not "Mac OS X".

I'll fix this in the next version of the patch once I know what version numbers to use for NetBSD.
Are there any other blockers for this patch?
