+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+program works with the
+.Xr drvctl 4
+pseudo-driver to allow the rescan of busses and to detach
+drivers from devices.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width 123456
+.It Fl a
+Give the interface attribute where children are to be
+attached to (and which defines the interpretation of
+the locator information).
+This will only be needed in rare cases where the bus
+has multiple attributes.
+If there are multiple attributes, and one is not specified,
+.Nm
+will return an Invalid argument.
+In such cases, the
+.Fl p
+option can be used to determine the available interface
+attributes.
+.It Fl d
+Detach the device driver from the device given by the
+.Ar device
+argument.
+.It Fl l
+List the children of the device specified by the
+.Ar device
+argument.
+If
+.Ar device
+is not specified, list roots of the device tree instead.
+Output comes in two columns.
+The first column is
+.Ar device ,
+or
+.Dq root
+if
+.Ar device
+is not specified.
+The second column is the child.
+.It Fl n
+Suppress first column in
+.Fl l
+output.
+Suppress non-XML headers in
+.Fl p
+output.
+.It Fl p
+Get properties for the device specified by the
+.Ar device
+argument.
+If
+.Ar property
+is specified, the value of that property is printed, otherwise
+the properties are displayed as an XML property list.
+The property can be given as a path of dictionary keys and numeric
+array indexes separated by slashes.
+.It Fl Q
+Resume the ancestors of
+.Ar device ,
+.Ar device
+itself, and all of its descendants.
+.It Fl R
+Resume both the ancestors of
+.Ar device
+and
+.Ar device
+itself.
+.It Fl r
+Rescan the bus given by the
+.Ar busdevice
+argument.
+The scan range can be restricted by an optional
+.Ar locator
+list.
+.It Fl S
+Suspend both the descendants of
+.Ar device
+and
+.Ar device
+itself.
+.It Fl t
+Print a tree of devices in
+.Fl l
+output.

+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To scan for IDE/SATA/eSATA disks on
+.Pa atabus1 ,
+which need to use the
+.Qq ata_hl
+attribute:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# drvctl -r -a ata_hl atabus1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To scan for devices on a USB hub
+.Pa uhub3 ,
+that have not been discovered by normal methods (or were detached
+with the
+.Fl d
+option for
+.Nm ) ,
+need to use the
+.Qq usbifif
+or
+.Qq usbdevif
+attributes, try one or both of these:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# drvctl -r -a usbifif uhub3
+# drvctl -r -a usbdevif uhub3

+utility appeard in
+.Nx 4.0 .
+.Sh BUGS
+Currently, there is no good way to get information about locator
+lengths and default values (which is present at kernel configuration
+time) out of a running kernel.
+Thus the locator handling is less intelligent than it could be.
