containment.

0c9608cf1b Portability fix for [f]statvfs() return tuple: no longer return the
f_fsid field, since it's not a scalar on all systems supporting this
call (in particular, it's a tuple of two longs on AIX).  Since it's
not particularly useful, just nuke it.  Adapted the doc strings too.

da452bf6a7 Don't say that the module defines the "following functions" and then
only describe one; say "following function" instead!

Merge the two one-sentence paragraphs into a single paragraph, so it
doesn't look too stupid.
