            Bug ID: 223957
           Summary: man page for pf.conf references pflow(4) which doesn't
                    exist.
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at tim.thechases.com

The manpage for `pf.conf(5)` references a "pflow(4) interface" both within the
document and in the SEE ALSO section.  However, there is no `pflow(4)` manpage
and `apropos pflow` returns nothing.  Asking on IRC turned up
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2014-July/007409.html which
references the port `net/pfflow` but there's no way I would have found that
based on current docs within a fresh/stock base system.

Is there something that can be done to make this clear in the docs?  Perhaps
reference `net/pfflow` in conjunction with the introduction to pflow?
