comment = "Kernel event handling daemon"

desc = <<EOD
The devd utility is a system daemon that runs in the background all the time.
Whenever a device is added to or removed from the device tree, devd will
execute actions specified in devd.conf(5).  For example, devd might execute
dhclient(8) when an Ethernet adapter is added to the system, and kill the
dhclient(8) instance when the same adapter is removed.  Another example would
be for devd to use a table to locate and load via kldload(8) the proper driver
for an unrecognized device that is added to the system.
