            Bug ID: 226713
           Summary: Conflict in argument types of auditpipe(4) in man-page
                    and audit_ioctl.h
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: aniketp at iitk.ac.in

The ioctl(2) request arguments for auditpipe(4) have conflicting data types in
the man-page and the header "security/audit/audit_ioctl.h"

Issue in Preselection Mode Ioctls:

* AUDITPIPE_GET_PRESELECT_FLAGS
* AUDITPIPE_SET_PRESELECT_FLAGS
* AUDITPIPE_GET_PRESELECT_NAFLAGS
* AUDITPIPE_SET_PRESELECT_NAFLAGS

All of the above ioctls have a defined argument type of "au_mask_t" (struct
au_mask) which is incorrectly represented as "u_int" in the man page of
auditpipe(4).

I have worked with the ioctls and can confirm that the source is correct. The
issue is with the man-page.

**Also: A typo in the same manpage [provided->provide]
