I already applied a different patch recently. See
<http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/src/alx/linux/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/man3/pthread_atfork.3?id=f30deb08a9a0db95a3d6b4d00c0927fb43928cc4>.

If you think that can be improved, please send a patch on top of the
main branch in that repo.

Thanks,

Alex
