+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn devname
+function returns a pointer to the static buffer with the name of the
+block or character device in
+.Dq Pa /dev
+with a device number of
+.Fa dev ,
+and a file type matching the one encoded in
+.Fa type
+which must be one of S_IFBLK or S_IFCHR.
+If no device matches the specified values, or no information is
+available,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn devname_r
+function is a reentrant and thread-safe version of
+.Fn devname .
+This function returns the device name by copying it into the
+.Fa path
+argument with up to
+.Fa len
+characters.
+The
+.Fa path
+argument is always nul-terminated.
+.Pp
+The traditional display for applications when no device is
+found is the string
+.Dq ?? .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful,
+.Fn devname
+returns a pointer to a nul-terminated string containing the name of the device.
+If an error occurs
+.Fa devname
+will return
+.Dv NULL .
+.Pp
+If successful,
+.Fn devname_r
+places a nul-terminated string containing the name of the device in
+the buffer pointed to by
+.Ar path
+and returns 0.
+If an error occurs
+.Fn devname_r
+will return an error number from
+.In sys/errno.h
+indicating what went wrong.
