Thanks!  It seems a mistake introduced recently.  I've fixed it with
this commit:

	commit 3b2ac90b3518635966754ff83d703c5f6029ae74

	    man/man2const/IPV6_V6ONLY.2const: $2 is IPPROTO_IPV6, not IPPROTO_IP
	    
	    Fixes: 07d5d5b62a8f (2025-12-02; "man/man2const/{IPPROTO_IPV6,IPV6_V6ONLY}.2const: Split IPV6_V6ONLY from IPPROTO_IPV6(2const)")
