Hi Documentation Team,

I am looking through some bugs.freebsd.org entries and came across on in particular that I would like to get some feedback on.
BUG ID: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143408

The manual page filedesc 9 exists in NetBSD but does NOT exist in FreeBSD but references to these functions do exist in FreeBSD.

NetBSD Manual Page: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=filedesc&apropos=0&sektion=9&manpath=NetBSD+5.0&format=html
FreeBSD Manual Page: Not available

BACKGROUND: I have confirmed that the functions mentioned in the NetBSD manual page do exist in FreeBSd under /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_descrip.c

My question to this group is: Would there be any other types of checks/confirmations that should be performed BEFORE I tackle migrating this manual page over to FreeBSD from NetBSD?

Thank you in advance for your guidance and insight.

Kind Regards,
Chris
