lib/libutil/pidfile.c
133	Should we try to limit the rights on this descriptor to CAP_UNLINKAT once the pidfile is open? AFAIK this can be done even if the process is not in capability mode. The cap_rights_limit() man page isn't very clear on this though.
170	Seems like we should be careful to preserve errno as you did above?
277	The addition of braces here is inconsistent with the if statement above.

Update diff after markj@ review.

Thanks for addressing this!

lib/libutil/pidfile.c
133	Sure.
250	I would kill this blank line.
