+.Nm
+is a control program that provides the user access and control to the

+Reinitialize an ATA channel. Both devices on the channel are reset and
+initialized to the parameters the ATA driver has stored internally.
+Devices that has gone bad and no longer responds to the probe, or devices
+that has physically been removed are removed from the kernel. Likewise
+are devices that show up during a reset, probed and attached.
+.Pp
+.It Ic mode 
+Without the two mode arguments the current transfer modes of both
+devices are printed. If the mode arguments are given, the ATA driver
+is asked to change the transfer modes to those given. The ATA driver
+will reject modes that is not supported by the hardware.
+Modes are given like PIO3, udma2, udma100, case does not matter.
+.Pp
