I’ve opened a PR for this http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=docs/186464 The man-page is correct, though. But the FreeBSD handbook is actually quite good, most of the time, and sometimes contains more examples than the man-pages. So, I guess a lot of people actually first go to the handbook these days (especially those from the younger generation, who do *everything* in their browser) ;-) With CARP being so different between 9 and 10, I’d advocate to have both syntaxes reflected in the handbook (if possible).
