            Bug ID: 267454
           Summary: sysutils/openzfs: arcstat(1) has a manual page, but no
                    binary; and a peculiarity with pkg-provides(8)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freqlabs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: grahamperrin@freebsd.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(freqlabs@FreeBSD.org)

I was initially confused by the presence of a manual page, but no corresponding
command. 

Then, doubly confused by nothing in response to: 

    pkg provides arcstat.1

<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=arcstat&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD-Ports>
exists (for ports, not for FreeBSD). 

Eventually, with pkg-info(8) I confirmed the origin of the manual page. 


Condensed: 

% man 1 arcstat
% which arcstat
arcstat: Command not found.
% pkg provides arcstat.1
% pkg info --list sysutils/openzfs | grep arcstat
        /usr/local/man/man1/arcstat.1.gz
% 


I assume that arcstat is not easily portable to FreeBSD, true? 

(I'm happy enough with sysutils/zfs-stats as an alternative. Also, I'm aware of
sysutils/arc_summary … additional suggestions welcome, I'm interested more in
L2ARC than in ARC.)
