The man page was not updated for either of these changes. Fixes: 77909f597881 ("Initial elf nlist support, ...") Fixes: 86cfa7e70b2b ("nlist: retire long-obsolete aout support") Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation (cherry picked from commit 876a17321c896427d70de94101df4d888a19189b) struct nlist is documented in both a.out(5) and stab(5), so add an Xref to the latter.
