I actually don't think so. From a quick check it does not appear that bsd.kmod.mk includes bsd.man.mk (which handles all the manual page related things). Normally in FreeBSD all the kernel manual pages are located under src/share/man/man?/ . I assume the reason you want to include the manual page with the module, is because it's a 3rd party module which are not being distriubted as part of FreeBSD? You might want to ask on -hackers, since this is more of a buildsystem problem, than documentation problem (and I don't think most of the buildsystem guys are on -doc). --=20 Simon L.
