On my system ``apropos raw'' doesn't point me to the ``ip'' man page, which describes raw sockets. Furthermor, the ``ip'' man page doesn't specify the byte order for the up header fields when the user is supplying the ip header. >How-To-Repeat: man ip apropos raw >Fix: 1. mention the required byte order in the ``ip'' man page 2. put the word ``raw'' somewhere in the title of the ``ip'' man page >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
