are /etc/ld.so.conf and ld-elf.so.conf still used by ldconfig(8) ?

    On -current, according to the ldconfig man page:

    ==============================================================================
    FILES
         /var/run/ld.so.hints Standard hints file for the a.out dynamic
                                      linker.
         /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints Standard hints file for the ELF dynamic
                                      linker.
         /etc/ld.so.conf Conventional configuration file containing
                                      directory names for invocations with -aout.
         /etc/ld-elf.so.conf Conventional configuration file containing
                                      directory names for invocations with -elf.
         /etc/objformat Determines whether -aout or -elf is the
                                      default. If present, it must consist of a
                                      single line containing either
                                      `OBJFORMAT=aout' or `OBJFORMAT=elf'.
    ==============================================================================

    I gave a quick look at the ldconfig source and it seems to me that
    /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld-elf.so.conf are not used anymore.

    During system startup ldconfig is passed the path set by "ldconfig_paths"
    in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

    If I am correct, could somebody fix the man page? It is misleading.

    thanks
    Marco
