svn commit: r258146 - stable/9/share/man/man9

Thu Nov 14 21:31:59 UTC 2013

Author: jhb
Date: Thu Nov 14 21:31:58 2013
New Revision: 258146
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/258146

Log:
  MFC 255498:
  - Document the UQUAD sysctl variants.
  - Clarify that exactly one of the "access" flags is required and
    list the optional flags in a separate list.  Prefer bundling
    CTLFLAG_TUN into the access flag by not documenting it as an
    optional flag to set.
