@concussious you have commit access, right? Or do you need somebody else to commit this? |

Im pretty sure most of these are an incorrect application of this spelling. Specifically, returns nonzero is right, but non-zero number is also right because non modifies more than one word. |

@asomers If my mentors @sergio-carlavilla and/or @mhorne consent, then yes I can. However, I don't understand if @bsdimp is saying that we could but maybe shouldn't do this. |
C23 (ISO/IEC 9899:2024) standard specifies the spelling "nonzero" instead of "non-zero." This PR updates all occurrences of "non-zero" in the codebase (excluding man pages originating outside of FreeBSD itself) to align with the standard.
