+.Sh NAME
+.Nm acpidock
+.Nd ACPI docking station
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "acpidock* at acpi?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports ACPI docking stations.
+Docking stations are units that, for example, laptops may attach to in
+order to expose a number of additional hardware devices.
+The
+.Nm
+driver handles docking and undocking machines to gracefully detach
+external devices.
+.Pp
+When docking and undocking, an event is passed to the driver which is
+then reacted upon.
+For undocking, this event is usually triggered by pressing a button on
+the docking station or using a special keyboard combination; for docking,
+the machine usually just has to be inserted.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver sets up a sensor that indicates docking state that can be
+used with
+.Xr sensorsd 8
+to perform events when docking or undocking.
