+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pud
+.Nd Pass-to-Userspace Device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pseudo-device pud"
+.Cd "pseudo-device putter"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver enables the implementation of block and character device drivers
+as userspace daemons.
+The daemons register the device major number they wish to handle.
+Registering a character device is mandatory, supporting the block
+device interface for same major device is optional.
+The major number must be available, i.e. another driver must not
+be registered to handle the operation.
+After successful registration the userspace daemon is supposed to
+handle the driver methods the kernel passes down to it.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr puffs 4 ,
+.Xr putter 9
+.Sh BUGS
+This document is in a hit-in-the-head style obviously not even
+near complete.
+.Pp
+The subsystem lacks a puffs-style library that servers can be
+written against.
