Without further ado, the following was found:
Issue: This is the man page of B<mknod>, what is "like B<mknod>()" supposed to refer to? Itself?
"If I<path> is relative and I<dirfd> is the special value B<AT_FDCWD>, then "
"I<path> is interpreted relative to the current working directory of the "
"calling process (like B<mknod>())."

The text is in the subsection mknodat(), so it says that mknodat() is
