            Bug ID: 260724
           Summary: [PATCH] manual pages refer to incorrect sections, to
                    ports, and break mandoc(1)
           Product: Documentation

Created attachment 230452

=3Dedit
A patch, as generated by git format-patch against the stable/13 branch

Some cross-references in manual pages point to one section while the page in
question actually resides in another, such as referencing free(2) instead of
free(3).  I have corrected many of these.

Other pages cross-reference a page that would only exist if a port were
installed.  I have added pointers to some of them.  Others reference comman=
ds
that do not seem to exist in the base system or in ports, these were left
alone.

Finally, cxgbetool.8 had a large table rewritten in order to avoid mandoc(1)
errors about unsupported macros in tables, thus no longer requiring
ports/textproc/groff be installed in order to view its contents.
