I have an open PR with a more complete update of the man page, but I
have not seen any response to this point.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84676

Now that I look at it again, I'd probably reword my definition of
'controller' a bit, but it at least gets you to the right place better
than the current page.

I probably could have added an example or two, as well.
