# 140368 17-Jan-2005 ru

Added the EXIT STATUS section where appropriate.


# 131500 02-Jul-2004 ru

Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks.


# 124271 09-Jan-2004 green

Add a GraphViz-exporting ngctl(8) "dot" command. You can now create
very useful .dot files of your netgraph(4) to quickly visualize the
nodes, hooks and edges. An example of this can be found here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~green/sample-netgraph-dot.ps
If anyone would like to refine the output further, please do so.


# 107844 13-Dec-2002 fenner

Add missing "of".


# 89674 22-Jan-2002 archie

Add ngctl "write" command.

MFC after: 1 week


# 81687 15-Aug-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police: utilize the new .Ex macro.


# 79755 15-Jul-2001 dd

Remove whitespace at EOL.


# 79537 10-Jul-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police: removed HISTORY info from the .Os call.


# 70015 14-Dec-2000 ru

mdoc(7) police: removed history info from the .Os FreeBSD call.


# 68854 17-Nov-2000 ru

mdoc(7) police: use certified section headers wherever possible.


# 68756 15-Nov-2000 ben

remove trailing periods from SEE ALSO.


# 57673 01-Mar-2000 sheldonh

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

# 53913 30-Nov-1999 archie

Add two new generic control messages, NGM_ASCII2BINARY and
NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.

This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.

Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.

See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.

Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.

Several other misc. bug fixes.

# 52578 27-Oct-1999 archie

If we get an EPROTONOSUPP error when trying to create the netgraph socket
node, it's most likely because the "ng_socket.ko" KLD is not loaded yet.
So make an attempt to load it before giving up.


# 52419 21-Oct-1999 julian
