            Bug ID: 229363
           Summary: Incomplete documentation for FreeBSD ipfw
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: shriyogeshchandra@gmail.com

When I see the official documentation of ipfw[1] or the man pages[2] it see=
ms
that it is sometimes incomplete. Specifically, there are a lot of options l=
ike,=20

    firewall_myservices
    firewall_allowservices

etc., which can be found in many online guides[3] but **not** in the docs.
They're even discussed in the lists[4].=20

So I would like to understand if these are unofficial or undocumented optio=
ns,
and if they might be arbitrarily removed at some point in the future since
they're not formally documented. More importantly, is there a single
comprehensive documentation source for ipfw, short of grokking the source c=
ode?=20
