Hi Florian, and others,

I've written the following patch to the Linux man pages to document
secure_getenv(). Could you take a moment to review it?

secure_getenv is missing from the synopsis. setjmp should be secure_getenv.

The "secure execution" requirement depends on the AT_SECURE flag supplied by the kernel and can be influenced by security modules (I believe). So the list of conditions is likely not exhaustive.
