Author: benno Date: Thu May 3 17:52:40 2018 New Revision: 333220 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/333220 Log: Add a stub manual page for iflib(9). Currently 'man -k iflib' would find you the right pages for iflib documentation, namely iflibdd(9) and iflibdi(9) but 'man iflib' would leave you in the dark. This allows both approaches to find the relevant documentation. Reviewed by: kmacy, shurd Sponsored by: iXsystems, Inc.
