First line is misleading edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The opening line is a little misleading:

> In the C and C++ programming languages, unistd.h is the name of the header file that provides access to the POSIX operating system API.

This suggests that unistd.h is part of the C or C++ language standards when actually it's part of the POSIX standards.

To fix this, I would turn it around:

> On POSIX operating systems, unistd.h is the name of the header file that provides system API declarations to programs written in the C or C++ programming languages.

Would this be a reasonable change?
