%%PREFIX%%/bin
+Their manual pages are installed into the standard manual page directories
+as defined in hier(7).

-To view the manual pages in the "1m" manual section,

+
+ man -S 1m fddist
- man -s 1m fddist
+Note that some of the DTrace Toolkit scripts have not been ported
+to the currently supported FreeBSD versions yet.
