Please use the former from now on, thanks. ]

This function can be found in the libfreebsd-dev package in
GNU/kFreeBSD, but be advised this is not yet a portable interface, and
your package will not build on other GNU systems. In the future we'll
try to abstract this (and other such functions) and probably move them
to libbsd.
