I retract my suggestion here because HCI is in the KLD name (ng_hci) and you convinced me that if we have space the expansion is erudite

I retract this suggestion too, again because KLD name (ng_lt2p) has the acronym, and so the expansion is luciferous

My objection to expansion here is released as well, again because the KLD (ng_lmi) gives us context to the expanded prose

I am ambivalent here on the capitalization (one might argue that because we don't pedantically capitalize the other expansions, we should do without it here)

You educated me on IRC that apropos searches both Nm and Nd, and clearly we have ppp in the KLD name, expand away

I was a bit dramatic here (non-maliciously, was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, though it has been over 20 years since I have seen PPPoE expanded). That being said, as is the case with the other prior objections, we've got the acronym in the KLD and so the expansion is illuminating. After all, you are right, having the expansion here against the KLD name could even make people WANT to read these man-pages (as a form of education on networking standards with the expanded meanings front-and-center). Go forth and expand

Duh, I wasn't looking at the KLD name, putting the RFC in the Nd here would be entirely redundant.

Ok to lower-case Netgraph to illicit netgraph(4) reference

Except I was completely not looking at Nm, apologies. Derp.

I still think this is a good suggestion (1 of 2)

I still think this is a good suggestion (2 of 2)

Original was "netgraph socket node type"

Much of the other changes were to just remove "type"

That's what I'm advocating here, but somehow we ended up growing a second "netgraph" (netgraph socket netgraph node)

I put this in plural since this IIUC there are multiple? This probably can/should be improved further.

what does IP stand for here? we should spell this out.

Ok, yeah... What about this, I changed it to:

ng_socket(4) - socket interface netgraph node

and

ng_device(4) - device interface netgraph node

Also in this update, Gleb explained to me a little more about ng_UI, so I changed that to:

ng_UI(4) - HDLC UI header stripping/prepending netgraph node

and also capitalized the PPP expansion.

Yes, that's correct. I caught the plurality and accepted it as correct previously (by not commenting on it) but will explicitly comment that it is correct.

No actually!

The manpage says "queues them into the IP in input processing subsystem."... so like... it wouldn't make sense to be internet protocol based on that grammar, so... maybe... there's 3 IPs! IP in the Nd, IP in the input processing subsystem, and IP (input processing) subsystem.
