Looks okay.

One comment on the current rename.2 page:

#include <fcntl.h> /* Definition of AT_* constants */

AT_ constants are not used in renameat() hence this seems unneeded.

Not sure where the RENAME_ constants need to go once renameat2() is
added to glibc, possibly to <stdio.h> since they are closely related
to rename.

Thanks,
Miklos
