Summary	0000680: pselect EINTR error case clarification
Description	As discussed on the mailing list (Apr 18 -- Apr 20), pselect's EINTR error case description is somewhat confusingly worded. The EINTR text refers to "events", which isn't a term used elsewhere in the pselect description. Preferably it would use the same terminology of descriptors becoming ready.
Desired Action	In pselect's ERRORS section, change: [EINTR] The function was interrupted before any of the selected events occurred and before the timeout interval expired. to [EINTR] The function was interrupted while blocked waiting for any of the selected descriptors to become ready and before the timeout interval expired.
