            Bug ID: 294490
           Summary: watchdog(4) ioctl WDIOCPATPAT changed to WDIOC_PATPAT,
                    documentation not changed
           Product: Base System
           Version: 16.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: janm@transactionware.com

In FreeBSD 15, the watchdog timeout type changed from a uint32_t to sbintime_t.

In the same commit, the name of the WDIOCPATPAT ioctl changed to WDIOC_PATPAT,
while the man page still says WDIOCPATPAT.

Perhaps a line like "#define WDIOCPATPAT WDIOC_PATPAT" is worthwhile in
sys/watchdog.h?
