Description Bob Van Zant 2009-04-27 23:00:14 UTC
The manpage for arp(8) doesn't mention the equivalent command for IPv6 environments, ndp(8):

SEE ALSO
     inet(3), arp(4), ifconfig(8)

This makes finding the equivalent command a bit hard to find. As an admin I was aware of arp but had a lot of trouble finding ndp. If the SEE ALSO section had contained ndp as a reference I would have found it right away.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: man arp
