Description xyesbee 2022-05-10 15:39:04 UTC 
netintro(4) does not mention a useful ioctl(), SIOCGIFMTU (Socket IO Channel Get Interface MTU). This is mentioned in OpenBSD's netintro(4) man page and Linux's netdevice(4) man page (man7.org).

FreeBSD's documentation is however in if_allmulti(9). It would've been better to put it there because knowing the MTU is useful.
