+.Dt GEOM_UZIP 4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm geom_uzip
+.Nd "GEOM based compressed disk images"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options GEOM_UZIP"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+geom_uzip_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+framework provides support for compressed read only
+disk images.
+This allows significant storage savings at the expense of
+a little CPU time on each read.
+Data written in the GEOM label area allows
+.Nm
+to detect compressed images which have been created with
+.Xr mkuzip 8
+and presented to the kernel as a logical disk device via
+.Xr md 4 .
+.Nm
+creates a unique
+.Pa md#.uzip
+device for each image.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+device is subsequently used by the
+.Fx
+kernel to access the disk images.
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not allow write operations to the underlying disk image.
+To check which
+.Xr md 4
+devices match a given
+.Nm
+device:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
