>Description:
The devctl(4) man page describes the ascii protocol that is used
from the kernel to send device events to the userland.
The current page lists the "+"-device node attached,
"-"-device node detached, and "?"-unknown device detected events.
But it does not mention the notify events "!", which are used
for example by the network drivers to notify devd for link state
changes.
