xlint is currently a fossil. We have much more useful and alive tools
to do now what xlint did twenty years ago.
I did not cleared some stuff which makes lint operational, in
sys/x86/include and sys/sys, but I might do it as followup. The
x86/include/ucontext.h and _types.h hacks made to please lint was the
main reason for my initial proposal to classify xlint as obsolete and
to remove it.
Also I do not intend to clear sccs ids.

The information here is somewhere between ancient to obsolete.
It refers to a time in the internet's history when manual routing
was still useful, talks about UUCP as if its modern, and refers
to documents which I had trouble tracking down.
It seems unlikely that a manual page in this form would be useful, so
just remove it.

Failure modes of the modern (that is, produced in the last 25 years)
hard drives and SSDs made the utility outdated. Since the kernel
interface to support it was removed in r324853, cut the userspace
remnants as well.

Despite the fact that it's a working solution, it doesn't follow the design
philosophy of only doing TARGET_* in Makefile.inc1 and special locations in

Please notice that libcasper is already in ObsoleteFiles so we don't add it

If they are still needed, you can find them in the net/bsdrcmds port.
This was proposed June, 20th and approved by various committers [1].
They have been marked as deprecated on CURRENT in r320644 [2] on July, 4th.
Both stable/11 and release/11.1 contain the deprecation notice (thanks to
allanjude@).
Note that ruptime(1)/rwho(1)/rwhod(8) were initially thought to be part of
rcmds but this was a mistake and those are therefore NOT removed.

It was supposed to provide a recovery mechanism against bugs in procfs's
long deprecated tracing capabilities.
Remove the tool as a prerequisite to axing the kernel side.
The tracing facility to use is ptrace(2).

In base, locales (and encoding) specific directories are not used
by any tool. Just remove them.
While here also remove the cat page directory for openssl
in favor of just rendering the manpage instead of relying on pre-formatted
catpages. Note, this does not impede the ability to use existing catpages,
it just removes the utility to generate them.

- Store the symbol table contents in an anonymous swap-backed object. Have
mmap(/dev/ksyms) map that object, and stop mapping the symbol table into
the calling process in ksyms_open(). Previously we would cache a pointer
to the pmap of the opening process, and mmap(/dev/ksyms) would create a
mapping using the physical address found by a pmap lookup at the initial
mapping address. However, this assumes that the cached pmap is valid,
which may not be the case. [1]
- Remove the ksyms ioctl interface. It appears to have been added to work
around a limitation in libelf that no longer exists; see r321842.
Moreover, the interface is difficult to support and isn't present in
illumos. Since ksyms was added specifically to support lockstat(1), it
is expected that this removal won't have any real impact.
- Simplify ksyms_read() to avoid unnecessary copying.
- Don't call the device handle destructor if we fail to capture a snapshot
of the kernel's symbol table. devfs will do that for us.

In FreeBSD we only use mdoc(7) format. A template is available as mdoc.template
The usage of man(7) format is discouraged and this file was driving people into
the front direction as a template to use.

Those documents will be added to the doc tree and distributed as PDF from
the documentation website. As they are valuable has history, but do not match
current FreeBSD
Further more, the ascii format we were using to distribute them is not really
accurate for such documents.
