c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

8072ee08a9 Remove the reference to KERN_UPDATEINTERVAL and syncer(4), since
KERN_UPDATEINTERVAL can't be used to control sched_sync().  In
fact, there's no easy way to control the syncer with sysctls.

fbc400a67a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

eec1dbe6ce Make the implementation and documentation agree. Specifically:
- document that sysctl() and sysctlbyname() return 0 on success

 - if the provided buffer is too small, set errno to ENOMEM and return -1
   instead of returning ENOMEM.

61a4defd54 Turn off replies to ICMP echo requests for broadcast and multicast
addresses by default.

Add a knob "icmp_bmcastecho" to "rc.network" to allow this
behaviour to be controlled from "rc.conf".

Document the controlling sysctl variable "net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho"
in sysctl(3).

- removed references to nonexistent pathconf-related variables.
- document everything in CTL_MACHDEP(more than in sysctl.8) and
  80% of the things in CTL_KERN (same as in sysctl.8).
