| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - dumpon utility has not used kern.dumpdev sysctl since rev. 1.14 (sbin/dumpon/dumpon.c) when phk@ updated it to use the DIOCSKERNELDUMP ioctl [1] - remove obsolete reference to sysctl(3) While I am there, fix two style nits: - use .Nm instead of `dumpon' - change NOTES to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES, to bring it in line with recommended section headings in mdoc(7) Original patch by: Martin Faxer <gmh003532brfmasthugget.se> [1] PR: docs/39293 Approved and Reviewed by: des (mentor), re (scottl, bmah)
