* coreutils.texi (Standards conformance): Use "head -10" rather

than "head -1".

57ac7f5a02
(Standards conformance): Use "head -10" rather than "head -1" as
...
example of obsolete usage, since the POSIX consensus is that "head -1"
could be supported even if we don't yet have clear consensus on "head
-10". See today's revision to the SUS FAQ

(pathchk invocation): Overall lengths are
...
OS limits, not file system limits. Component length checks
apply to all components, not merely to existing ones. Say
that nonexistent names are not errors. For -p, omit all
checks based on the underlying file system, not merely length
checks. Explain what the portabile file name character set is.
