From f47d7848ab6478fde5fb4d50b8d39090df2037d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: glebius Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:48:17 +0000 Subject: Remove a commented out old block inherited from inet.4. The text there was so much outdated that it required a complete rewrite even for inet.4, not mentioning inet6.4. There is no reason to keep it in the manual page. --- share/man/man4/inet6.4 | 80 -------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 80 deletions(-) (limited to 'share') diff --git a/share/man/man4/inet6.4 b/share/man/man4/inet6.4 index dad5ccf8..93015e0 100644 --- a/share/man/man4/inet6.4 +++ b/share/man/man4/inet6.4 @@ -184,86 +184,6 @@ by creating an Internet socket of type The .Tn ICMPv6 message protocol is accessible from a raw socket. -.\" .Pp -.\" The 128-bit IPv6 address contains both network and host parts. -.\" However, direct examination of addresses is discouraged. -.\" For those programs which absolutely need to break addresses -.\" into their component parts, the following -.\" .Xr ioctl 2 -.\" commands are provided for a datagram socket in the -.\" .Nm -.\" domain; they have the same form as the -.\" .Dv SIOCIFADDR -.\" command (see -.\" .Xr intro 4 ) . -.\" .Pp -.\" .Bl -tag -width SIOCSIFNETMASK -.\" .It Dv SIOCSIFNETMASK -.\" Set interface network mask. -.\" The network mask defines the network part of the address; -.\" if it contains more of the address than the address type would indicate, -.\" then subnets are in use. -.\" .It Dv SIOCGIFNETMASK -.\" Get interface network mask. -.\" .El -.\" .Sh ROUTING -.\" The current implementation of Internet protocols includes some routing-table -.\" adaptations to provide enhanced caching of certain end-to-end -.\" information necessary for Transaction TCP and Path MTU Discovery.
