FreeBSD - rc.conf man page splitting.

[Santiago Martinez]

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well and safe.

Just wondering whats your view on splitting rc.conf man pages (per
section/topic), something similar to what it was done with zfs.

For example rc.conf-fw, rc.conf-network and so on. And yes if people
think is a good idea im happy to take the task.

Hope it make sense.

IMO, Bad idea (tm).

Ok, noted. my proposal come after looking for network parameters (which
also is a topic to talk about) the list is so huge that it doesn't not
make it simple.  But if this work for most, then i have to accommodate
to that!

Thanks for your feedback!

That man page is getting pretty big. However, it's not always obvious
which section a particular setting should be in. Right now, you can always
just search through the entire thing. But searching would be harder if it
were split up. So I vote to keep it together.
