--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- I have found these files where the changes need to be made:
man2/splice.2
man2/vmsplice.2
man2/tee.2
I suppose change in any one file would reflect changes in the other? How exactly do we need to make the chnage to get the above mentioned output?

Not sure that I your question. Clone the man-pages git repo [1], and then send a patch.

--- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- What I meant to ask is - do we have to replace every occurence of splice (2) with splice (2) can return EAGAIN in all the three files?
Is that the only change?

[[
.TP
.B EAGAIN
.B SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK
was specified in
.IR flags ,
and the operation would block.
