Hm, whats the reason to not fix simple manpage?
The API is implemented in FreeBSD and I have used DIOCKILLSTATES
for example in the snortsam ssp_pf2.c module.

The OpenBSD documentation is really good, but even the older
one does not match the FreeBSD implementation in some places.

I guess the next 7.x/ 8.x release will not include a never pf
version, so why not fix existing documentation?

Anyway thanks for looking into this
