There's some RFC for it, but pretty much nobody implements CF-files
in the exact way that is described in the RFC.  I doubt it was ever
described in any detail in the FreeBSD handbook, but it may have
been in some of the books which have been written for the BSD's.

You may have seen the comments I wrote up in one of the source files
for lpr (common_source/ctlinfo.c):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/usr.sbin/lpr/common_source/ctlinfo.c?rev=1.10.16.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

Scan down for the comment:

   "Control-files (cf*) have the following format"

That's probably not complete, but it's whatever I felt was worth
noting when I wrote that source file.
