+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dev_clone ,
+.Nm drain_dev_clone_events
+.Nd eventhandler for name-based device cloning in devfs
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/conf.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn clone_handler "void *arg" "struct ucred *cr" "char *name" "int namelen" "struct cdev **dev"
+.Bd -literal
+EVENTHANDLER_REGISTER(dev_clone, clone_handler, arg, priority);
+.Ed
+.Ft void
+.Fn drain_dev_clone_events
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+A device driver may register a listener that will be notified each time
+a name lookup on the
+.Xr devfs 4
+mount point fails to find the vnode.
+A listener shall be registered for the
+.Va dev_clone
+event.
+When called, it is supplied with the first argument
+.Va arg
+that was specified at handler registration time,
+appropriate credentials
+.Va cr ,
+and a name
+.Va name
+of length
+.Va namelen
+that we look for.
+If the handler decides that the name is appropriate and wants to create the device
+that will be associated with the name, it should return it to devfs
+in the
+.Va dev
+argument.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drain_dev_clone_events
+function is a barrier.
+It is guaranteed that all calls to eventhandlers for
+.Nm dev_clone
+that were started before
+.Fn drain_dev_clone_events
+call, are finished before it returns control.
