            Bug ID: 293652
           Summary: rc(8): Manpage either missing NETWORK placeholder or
                    needs to remove it from /etc/rc.d/
           Product: Base System
           Version: 16.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

From a dispute in Bug 292407:
rc.8 contains:
                            NETWORKING       Ensure basic network services
                                              are running, including general
                                              network configuration.

Some RC scripts in ports "REQUIRE: NETWORK" which is not documented, but
"/etc/rc.d/NETWORKING" defines it "PROVIDE: NETWORKING NETWORK".

In CURRENT it was cleaned up some time ago:
commit 034669e856211cbc55d6ac7119629701d182647d
Author: Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org>
Date:   2021-04-05T16:57:44+01:00

    rc: replace NETWORK with NETWORKING

    This improves consistency; the NETWORKING script provides both,
    so there should be no functional change.

    Differential Revision:  https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29587

Either the additonal value should be publically documented or completely
removed or at least all port RC files updated for the canonical value.
