================
>Description:

ipfw(8) doesn't explain the difference between list and show
and the "-a" description references a non-existant description
of "show".
================
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
================
>Fix:

## Add this:
(The show command is the same as the list command with an implied -a.)

## and change "-a" to:
-a      With the list command, show counter values.  With the show com-
        mand, it is redundant.

## patch -d "unknown uncompressed man directory" < this-PR
