Hi again Jeremy. The 'trigger' for using 330.catman and "catman -v" was
very useful indeed :)
I've fixed the following manpages in CURRENT, and will MFC the changes
after a while (given RE approval for RELENG_7):
minherit.2, sctp_generic_recvmsg.2, sctp_generic_sendmsg.2,
sctp_peeloff.2, ether_aton.3, gss_add_cred.3,
gss_inquire_cred_by_mech.3, gss_inquire_mechs_for_name.3,
gss_seal.3, gss_unseal.3, gss_wrap_size_limit.3, valloc.3, mac.4,
md.4, quota.group.5, fwcontrol.8, ifmcstat.8, uio.9
There are still some errors/warnings in contrib manpages, like:
readelf.1 (binutils)
lwres_gabn.3 (bind)
lwres_gnba.3 (bind)
lwres_noop.3 (bind)
zlib.3 (zlib)
I'll ask the respective contrib-code maintainers before making changes
here, to avoid taking files off the vendor branch if it's too bad.
There are also a couple of manpages with references to very long URIs,
which cannot be wrapped by nroff in a reasonable line-length:
ng_netflow.4
bluetooth.device.conf.5
I don't think we can easily fix these, without manually wrapping the
URIs, but that may 'break' copy/pasting of the URIs :/
