81 | Sentences should start with a capital letter. | |
82 | Should be .Er ENOTCONN | |
84 | This sentence contradicts the previous one, which says that these functions can be used at any time. | |

Clarified that destination address is ignored if socket is already connected, and clarified where the destination address is sent in the sendmsg call. Formatting.
