+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pt
+.Nd scsi processor type driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm device pt0 at scbus?
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Xr pt
+driver provides support for a
+SCSI processor type device. These are usually scanners and other
+devices using the SCSI link as a communication interface with device
+specific commands embedded in the data stream.
+.Pp
+A scsi adapter must be separately configured into the system
+before this driver can be used.
+.Pp
+This device only supports
+.Xr read 2
+and
+.Xr write 2 ,
+and the general scsi ioctl calls.
+.Sh IOCTLS
+The
+.Nm
+driver has no ioctls of it's own but rather acts as a medium for the
+generic
+.Xr scsi 4
+ioctls. These are described in
+.Em sys/scsiio.h.
+.Sh FILES

+The
+.Em "at scbus?"
+is required in the config file for the configuration
+system to know this is a SCSI device and generate the appropriate
+tables.
