>Description:
According to the manpage pf.conf(5), rules may contain icmp-types
and/or codes by a name, for example somethig like
pass out inet proto icmp all icmp-type echoreq

Further it says "Text names for ICMP types and codes are listed in
icmp(4) and icmp6(4)."

While this is true for icmp6(4), the manpage icmp(4) lacks the
information.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

OpenBSD's icmp(4) manpage contains the textnames for icmp types
and codes which can be used by pf. Merging the tables containing
these abbreviations into FreeBSD's icmp(4) manpage should do well.
