34.Op Ar name ...
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The shell script
37.Nm ,
38found in the

43for a more complete discussion of special files.
44.Pp
45.Nm
46takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are
47the common abbreviation for the device or group of devices.
48.Pp
49Where a device name is followed by a star
50.Sq * ,
51the star must be replaced by a unit number.
52If units are expected for a device but not provided,
53.Nm
54will supply the standard numbers in most cases.
