Dag-Erling Smørgrav eec1dbe6ce Make the implementation and documentation agree. Specifically:
- document that sysctl() and sysctlbyname() return 0 on success

 - if the provided buffer is too small, set errno to ENOMEM and return -1
   instead of returning ENOMEM.

Joseph Koshy 61a4defd54 Turn off replies to ICMP echo requests for broadcast and multicast
addresses by default.

Add a knob "icmp_bmcastecho" to "rc.network" to allow this
behaviour to be controlled from "rc.conf".

Document the controlling sysctl variable "net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho"
in sysctl(3).

Bruce Evans 38c429d5bc Made this about as (in)complete as sysctl.8.
- removed references to nonexistent pathconf-related variables.
- document everything in CTL_MACHDEP(more than in sysctl.8) and
  80% of the things in CTL_KERN (same as in sysctl.8).

Mike Pritchard 7bdf80e571 Correctly use .Fn instead of .Nm to reference function names
in a bunch of man pages.

Use the correct .Bx  (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.

Mike Pritchard e1f4e80c88 Fixed a bunch of man page cross references that were
in the main text of various man pages.

Thanks to Warner Losh for adding an option to manck to allow
it to scan the entire man page looking for bogus xrefs, instead
of just checking the SEE ALSO section.
