+.Sh NAME
+.Nm disc
+.Nd software discard network interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device disc"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface is a software discard mechanism which may be
+used for performance analysis and/or software testing.
+As with other network interfaces, the discard interface must have
+network addresses assigned for each address family with which it is to be used.
+These addresses
+may be set or changed with the
+.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
+.Xr ioctl 2 .
+.Pp
+Each
+.Nm
+interface is created at runtime using interface cloning.
+This is
+most easily done with the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm create
+command or using the
+.Va cloned_interfaces
+variable in
+.Xr rc.conf 5 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr inet 4 ,
+.Xr intro 4
+.\" .Xr ns 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device appears to have been derived from the
+.Xr lo 4
+device around the time of
+.Bx 4.4 .
+This manpage was adapted from 
+.Xr lo 4
+and first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0 .
