[issue20468] resource module documentation is incorrect

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Python’s getrusage() calls the C-level getrusage() function. Man pages for reference:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrusage.2.html
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getrusage&sektion=2
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/getrusage.2.html

I find “kilobytes” ambiguous, since it probably means “kibibytes”, multiples of 1024 bytes, rather than 1000 bytes. Maybe it would be best to just say the unit varies by platform, and let the user check the manuals themself.

I agree about dropping the text from getpagesize() though.
