4345758876 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.

4001ccb3a6 Remove the reference to KERN_UPDATEINTERVAL and syncer(4), since
KERN_UPDATEINTERVAL can't be used to control sched_sync().  In

f7a8bc4c04 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.

76b479177d 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.

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