I've written a tiny-tiny patch, which adds the '-t' flag to ifconfig(8).
It modifies the output to display IPv4 netmasks in dotted decimal notation:

% ifconfig msk0
msk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>  metric 0 mtu 1500

options=c011a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE>
          ether 00:16:e6:88:0f:89
          inet 10.10.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.0.255
          media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
          status: no carrier

% ifconfig -t msk0
msk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>  metric 0 mtu 1500

options=c011a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE>
          ether 00:16:e6:88:0f:89
          inet 10.10.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.0.255
          media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
          status: no carrier

There was a discussion [1] in freebsd-hackers@ about adding such
functionality to ifconfig(8), which urged me write this patch. The
default behavior of ifconfig(8) is kept unmodified, so there shouldn't
be any compatibility breakages. At least, it works fine for me :)

Looks good, except I'd change this line to read like this:
+The
+.Fl t
+flag makes IPv4 netmasks being displayed in dotted decimal notation.
       ^^^^^ results in


Note taken, fix will appear in the next patch version (if any).
