* Fixed $Id$.bde1999-07-311-3/+3
| | | | | | | Removed POSIX.1/NetBSD markup (braces) for NAME_MAX, etc. We don't define this. Most FreeBSD man pages hard-code the limits; in fact, utimes.2 recently became the only file in libc/sys/*.2 that mentions NAME_MAX. There probably should be mandoc macros for this.

* Backed out previous commit. devname.3 and devname.c were broken in Lite1bde1999-07-241-4/+6
| | | | | | | | (devname() returned "??" when the lookup failed, but callers expected it to return NULL). This was fixed in Lite2, but until recently the changes were only merged into devname.3. A day or two after devname.c was fixed, devname.3 was made inconsistent again by backing out most of the Lite2 changes.
