# 1.66 22-Dec-2018 maxv

Update the man page, we don't want M_COPY_PKTHDR, M_MOVE_PKTHDR, MH_ALIGN
and M_ALIGN.


Revision tags: pgoyette-compat-1126
# 1.65 15-Nov-2018 maxv

Remove the 'copy' argument from m_devget(), unused. While here rename
off0->off.

# 1.64 07-May-2018 maxv

branches: 1.64.2;
Clean up, improve a bit, and document m_remove_pkthdr.


Revision tags: pgoyette-compat-0502
# 1.63 28-Apr-2018 maxv

Rename the 'flags' and 'nowait' arguments to 'how'. The other BSDs did the
same. Also, in m_defrag, rename 'mold' to 'm'.


# 1.62 27-Apr-2018 wiz

New sentence, new line.


# 1.61 27-Apr-2018 maxv

M_CLUSTER -> M_EXT_CLUSTER, and remove M_CLUSTER completely.


# 1.60 27-Apr-2018 maxv

Improve the documentation of m_copypacket(), to say explicitly that a
header must be present, contrary to m_copym().

While here fix a variable name (from yesterday).


# 1.59 26-Apr-2018 maxv

Stop adding '0's in parameter and function names, that's just misleading.
Some remain, they need more investigation.


# 1.58 26-Apr-2018 maxv

Remove m_prepend from the man page, it's a helper, and is not supposed to
be part of the API.


Revision tags: pgoyette-compat-0422 pgoyette-compat-0415
# 1.57 10-Apr-2018 maxv

Remove m_getclr. It is unused, confusing (vs m_clget), and is a weak
implementation (eg you can't request a zeroed pkthdr mbuf).


Revision tags: pgoyette-compat-0407 pgoyette-compat-0330 pgoyette-compat-0322 pgoyette-compat-0315 pgoyette-compat-base
# 1.56 25-Jan-2018 maxv

branches: 1.56.2;
Improve wording.


# 1.55 22-Jan-2018 maxv

m_split does not 'attempt' to restore the chain, it just restores it plain
and simple.


# 1.54 22-Jan-2018 maxv

m_prepend does not tolerate being given len > MHLEN, so add a panic, and
document this behavior.


# 1.53 01-Jan-2018 wiz

Remove trailing comma from SYNOPSIS.
Try improving markup.


# 1.52 01-Jan-2018 maxv

Remove MFREE.
