+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hotplugd
+.Nd devices hot plugging monitor daemon
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm hotplugd
+.Op Fl d Ar device
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+daemon monitors the
+.Xr hotplug 4
+pseudo-device, acting on signaled events by executing the scripts in the
+.Pa /etc/hotplug
+directory.
+By default it uses the
+.Pa /dev/hotplug
+device for reading events from, but an alternative device can be
+specified with the
+.Fl d
+option.
+.Pp
+Actions can be configured either for device attachment or detachment.
+On device attachment the
+.Pa attach
+script is executed if it exists.
+On device detachment the
+.Pa detach
+script is executed if it exists.
+In both cases two parameters are passed to the scripts: the class and name
+of the attached or detached device.
+The device class corresponds to the classes described in the
+.In sys/device.h
+header file and can be one of the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It 0
+generic, no special info
+.It 1
+CPU (carries resource utilization)
+.It 2
+disk drive
+.It 3
+network interface
+.It 4
+tape device
+.It 5
+serial line interface
+.El
+.Pp
+Not all classes are really usable.
+For example, it's unlikely that a CPU will be hotplugged.
+.Pp
+The device name is the usual name,
+as listed in
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8 ,
+and the unit number, e.g.\&
+.Pa sd1 .
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width "/dev/hotplug/attach" -compact
