            Bug ID: 263898
           Summary: SIOCGIFMTU not mentioned in netintro(4)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: xyesbee@protonmail.com
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

netintro(4) does not mention a useful ioctl(), SIOCGIFMTU (Socket IO Channel
Get Interface MTU). This is mentioned in OpenBSD's netintro(4) man page and
Linux's netdevice(4) man page (man7.org).

FreeBSD's documentation is however in if_allmulti(9). It would've been better
to put it there because knowing the MTU is useful.
