            Bug ID: 198612
           Summary: vfork(2): typo in the HISTORY section
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: javad.kouhi at gmail.com

According to NetBSD manpage, vfork(2) originated from 3BSD. In the FreeBSD's
manpage, it is mentioned that vfork() first appeared in 2.9BSD. Since 3BSD has
a manpage for vfork() and it is released three years earlier, the correct one
should be 3BSD. Please see the following discussion:
