The rc(8) 'netif' and 'routing' scripts could/should have at least some basic man(1) page. Even people that are quite long into FreeBSD does not really get all the stuff they do: - https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@mms/113353330603293053 Regards, vermaden
I have a draft dated June 16th but gave up because 1. (Afaict) no rc.d scripts have manpages and 2. I'm not even close to qualified to write this. I would like to mention a caveat that local internet operations like attaching graphical console to a bhyve on the same machine, or using musicpd, will fail if netif is stopped. Service routing restart isn't necessary at least on dhcp wifi. I don't fully understand what's going on there, but I did have to remove it from wifi(7) because it does break things on some setups.
IMHO it does not have to be 'separate' man pages - it may be something like 'rc-roles' or rc-scripts' or 'rc-services' ... that would be probably good way to start - and more and more service names could be added to it later.
(In reply to Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak from comment #2) +1. And possibly, including in service (8) would be a candidate, too. Because rc.d scripts are manipulated by service (8) at run time.
I will try to write this man page and we will see how it will go - give me some time. For a start I will cover these: How this relates to rc(8) and service(8). Scripts I plan to cover for a start: - netif - dhclient - routing - bridge - ctld - devd - devfs - hastd - iscsictl - iscsid - local - moused - nfsclient - nfsd - ntpd - ntpdate - power_profile - powerd - rctl - sshd - sysctl Regards, vermaden
