I could not find a _description{ for netmkaddr in the dial(2) man
page, but I wasn't looking very hard because I already had an
alternative solution in mind. The alternative solution didn't work
and Steve's suggestion, applied where it made better sense to me,
worked a treat. So now I know.
If I come up with a description for netmkaddr(2) worth adding to the
dial(2) man page, I'll submit a patch.
Lucio.
