>Description:
The pf.conf manpage "PF.CONF(5)" contains an error on line 1609 of the output:

ence to an anchor name containing a solidus ('/') characters will require

The error is that the "/" character is a slash, not a solidus; they are different things, and standard keyboards all have a slash (ASCII 47) and not a solidus.  

Somebody thought they were being clever using a big word and got it wrong, as is usually the case.


>How-To-Repeat:
man -p cat pf.conf | grep -Hn solidus
>Fix:
Update the man page and call the character what it is; a slash, not a solidus.
