It's preferred only if using a Linux-specific feature provides an advantage. (This is true of *ANY* Unix-like systems features that are not part of POSIX.) undo

Just refer to user-space code, not specifically to user-space applications, as the kernel APIs are also offered to user-space libraries. Add a colon before a list of interfaces. Fix capitalization. undo
