>Description:
The manpage for arp(8) doesn't mention the equivalent command for IPv6 environments, ndp(8):
SEE ALSO
inet(3), arp(4), ifconfig(8)
This makes finding the equivalent command a bit hard to find. As an admin I was aware of arp but had a lot of trouble finding ndp. If the SEE ALSO section had contained ndp as a reference I would have found it right away.
