Modern jail configuration style assumes usage of jail.conf file
and jail.conf(5) manual page documents it:

	A jail definition with a name of "*" is used to define wildcard
     parameters.

Feel free to fix wording of my changes to the manual as English is not my native language,
I will appreciate any help.

The jls utility lists all active jails (from its manual).
jail -e exhibits all configured jails, no matter active (running) or not.
