+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hv_kvp
+.Nd Hyper-V Key Value Pair Driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in
+the system kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device hyperv"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides the ability to store, retrieve, modify and delete
+key value pairs for
+.Fx
+guest partitions running on Hyper-V.
+Hyper-V allows administrators to store custom metadata in the form
+of key value pairs inside the
+.Fx
+guest partition.
+Administrators can use Windows Powershell scripts to add, read,
+modify and delete such key value pairs.
+.Pp
+The driver is bare bones and merely forwards requests to its counterpart
+user mode daemon,
+.Xr hv_kvp_daemon 8 .
+The daemon maintains pools of key value
+pairs and does the actual metadata management.
+.Pp
+The same driver and daemon combination are also used to set and get
+IP addresses from a
+.Fx
+guest.
+.Pp
+The set functionality is particularly
+useful when the
+.Fx
+guest is assigned a static IP address and is failed over from one
+Hyper-V host to another.
+After failover, Hyper-V uses the set IP functionality to automatically
+update the
+.Fx
+guest's IP address to its original static value.
+.Pp
+On the other hand, the get IP functionality is used to update the guest IP
+address in the Hyper-V management console window.
