>Description:
	 sysctl(3) says to look at route(4) for information on the 
	 variable [CTL_NET, PF_ROUTE, 0, 0, NET_RT_IFLIST].
	 route(4) doesn't mention the variable.  It does mention 
	 the getkerninfo(2) system call which doesn't exist anymore.
	 sysctl(3) should also mention the undocumented 
	 system call __sysctl(2).

	 The fact that route(4) doesn't provide the needed information
	 and that sysctl(3) refers you to it to find that information,
	 is a bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
	man 4 route
	man getkerninfo
	man 3 sysctl
>Fix:
	Fix man pages.
