Re: [PATCH] pthread: document Android limits

[Bruno Haible]

The Android headers contain information, for each function, when this function
was added in Bionic.

For example, <stdlib.h> contains

#if __ANDROID_API__ >= 23
...
int mkostemp(char* __template, int __flags) __INTRODUCED_IN(23);
...
#endif /* __ANDROID_API__ >= 23 */

which means that the function 'mkostemp' is available in Android API 23 and
higher. The API levels translate to Android versions per
https://source.android.com/setup/start/build-numbers
So, 'mkostemp' is present in Android 6.0 or newer, and missing in Android 5.1
and older.

There are a few special cases, marked with __RENAME, that indicate when the
symbol used in the header file and the symbol visible to 'nm' are different.
