 ## Promises
 
 * `stdio`: Basic I/O, memory allocation, information about self, various non-destructive syscalls
-* `thread`: The POSIX threading API
+* `thread`: The POSIX threading API (\*)
 * `id`: Ability to change UID/GID
 * `tty`: TTY related functionality
 * `proc`: Process and scheduling related functionality
 * `exec`: The [`exec(2)`](exec.md) syscall
 * `unix`: UNIX local domain sockets
 * `inet`: IPv4 domain sockets
-* `accept`: May use [`accept(2)`](accept.md) to accept incoming socket connections on already listening sockets. It also allows [`getsockopt(2)`](getsockopt.md) with `SOL_SOCKET` and `SO_PEERCRED` on local sockets

+Promises marked with an asterisk (\*) are SerenityOS specific extensions not supported by the original OpenBSD `pledge()`.

 ## Errors
 
 * `EFAULT`: `promises` and/or `execpromises` are not null and not in readable memory.
 * `EINVAL`: One or more invalid promises were specified.
 * `EPERM`: An attempt to increase capabilities was rejected.

+## History
+
+The `pledge()` system call was first introduced by OpenBSD. The implementation in SerenityOS differs in many ways and is by no means final.
