I thought I have not to khow how any functions work BEFORE reading their POSIX
definitions (man pages). 

I do not see how to understand this usage limitation from the existing text if
the reader does not know implementation details. 

POSIX follows a very good rule to explicitly specify any usage limitation and
here is an obvious violation of the rule.
