Description Ulrich Spoerlein 2009-04-16 18:40:06 UTC

Simple "grep .Fx 8.0" over all manpages from RELENG_7 tree (before 7.2 branch)
turned up the following manpages, that lie about when features first appeared
in FreeBSD.

Either the documented feature is there, then it will appear in 7.2 before 8.0.
Or the documented feature is really only in 8.0, then it should not be
mentioned in 7.2.

I assume the first case, naturally. The patch should be committed to HEAD and then
MFC'ed to RELENG_7 and RELENG_7_2 or whatever they are called in SVN land.

@re: A one-liner like the following could/should be added to the TODO list when
branching for the next release to catch these trivial inconsistencies.

find /usr/src -type f -name \*.[0-9] | while read man; do
  egrep -Hn "^\.Fx 8.0" $man
done

Which can be followed by a 'vim -q' to fix them quickly.

Corrected in HEAD.  A little more research was necessary, since 
half of the functionality appeared prior to 7.2.
