From: Sascha Wildner Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2006 02:57:38 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Bring in the altq.4 man page from FreeBSD. X-Git-Tag: v2.0.1~5224 X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commitdiff_plain/a77d8c5bf96a1bf10c430f213201daf0b6c3a303 Bring in the altq.4 man page from FreeBSD. Minor modifications I have done: * Comment out description of the ALTQ_CDNR option that we don't have. * Update the list of adapters that support ALTQ. It's likely that some are still missing from this list. Note that the altq.9 man page not there yet. It will be added later. --- diff --git a/share/man/man4/Makefile b/share/man/man4/Makefile index 9fb506ab50..16bf629497 100644 --- a/share/man/man4/Makefile +++ b/share/man/man4/Makefile @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # @(#)Makefile 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/18/93 # $FreeBSD: src/share/man/man4/Makefile,v 1.83.2.66 2003/06/04 17:10:30 sam Exp $ -# $DragonFly: src/share/man/man4/Makefile,v 1.30 2005/12/20 01:54:09 corecode Exp $ +# $DragonFly: src/share/man/man4/Makefile,v 1.31 2006/03/19 02:57:38 swildner Exp $ MAN= aac.4 \ acpi.4 \ @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ MAN= aac.4 \ ahb.4 \ ahc.4 \ ahd.4 \ + altq.4 \ amd.4 \ amr.4 \ an.4 \ diff --git a/share/man/man4/altq.4 b/share/man/man4/altq.4 new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8b522617e6 --- /dev/null +++ b/share/man/man4/altq.4 @@ -0,0 +1,187 @@ +.\" +.\" Copyright (c) 2004 Max Laier +.\" All rights reserved. +.\" +.\" Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without +.\" modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions +.\" are met: +.\" 1.
