Ok, there is a first *draft* of the KASSERT(9)/KDASSERT(9) manual page.
There are a lot of sections to be written (e.g., EXAMPLES, STANDARDS
-if any-, HISTORY and, possible, AUTHORS).

I am sure, it needs a lot of technical improvements before being
considered for a style revision.  Please, be as tricky as possible.
I want to submit the best manual page!  :-)

Best regards,
Igor.

.Sh NAME
.Nm KASSERT ,
.Nm KDASSERT
.Nd kernel expression verification macros
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Ft void
.Fn KASSERT expression msg
.Ft void
.Fn KDASSERT expression msg
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These machine independent assertion-checking macros cause a kernel
.Xr panic 9
if the given
.Ar expression
evaluates to false, terminating the running system.
.Pp
.Fn KASSERT
tests are only included in kernels compiled with the DIAGNOSTIC configuration
option.  In a kernel that does not have this configuration option, the
.Fn KASSERT
macro is defined to be a no-op.
.Pp
.Fn KDASSERT
tests are only included in kernels that has been compiled with the DEBUG
configuration option.
.Fn KDASSERT
behaves essentially like the above verification macro.
.Pp
The second argument to both macros, that is
.Ar msg ,
is a
.Xr printf 9
format string whose arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Sh SEE ALSO
.\" Cross-references should be ordered by section (low to high), then in
.\"     alphabetical order.
