 Attached is a manpage for devfs.rules. Could this be included in 5.4?
 
 Together with my post re docs/63808 this should close both PRs.

 =2EDt DEVFS.RULES 5
 =2EOs
 =2ESh NAME
 =2ENm devfs.rules
 =2ENd devfs configuration information
 =2ESh DESCRIPTION
 The
 =2ENm
 file provides an easy way to create and apply
 =2EXr devfs 8
 rules, even for devices that are not available at boot.
 =2EPp
 For devices available at boot, see=20
 =2EXr devfs.conf 5 .
 =2EPp
 The format of this file is simple. Empty lines and lines beginning with a
 hash sign '#' are ignored. A line between brackets denotes the start of a
 ruleset. In the brackets should be the name of the ruleset and its number,
 separated by an equal sign.
 =2EPp
 Other lines are rule specifications as documented in
 =2EXr devfs 8 ,
 in the section "Rule Specification". These lines are prepended with 'rule'
 and passed to
 =2EXr devfs 8 .
 by the rc scripts. It is important to put=20
 =2EPa path
 elements that contain
 =2EXr glob 3
 special characters between quotes, to prevent them from being expanded by
 the shell.
 =2ESh EXAMPLES
 =2EBl -tag
 =2EIt Li "add path 'da*s*' mode 0660 group usb"
 makes all partitions of
 =2EXr da 4
 devices read- and writable by the owner and the group usb.
 =2EIt Li "add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group usb"
 makes all=20
 =2EXr uscanner 4
 devices accessible to the owner and the group usb.
