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?
