+.Nd Hyper-V Utilities Driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in
+the system kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device hyperv"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides time keeping, shutdown and heartbeat
+functionality for
+.Fx
+guest partitions running on Hyper-V.
+Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization technology from Microsoft.
+The
+.Nm
+driver is one of the core drivers required to be present in guest
+partitions running on Hyper-V.
+This driver provides the following
+functionalities to guest partitions:
+.Pp
+(a) Time Keeping: The clock inside the guest partition will remain accurate by
+synchronizing to the clock on the virtualization server via Timesync service,
+and with the help of the pluggable time source device.
+.Pp
+(b) Integrated shutdown: Guest partitions running
+.Fx
+can be shut down from
+Hyper-V Manager console by using the
+.Qq Shut down
+command.
+.Pp
+(c) Heartbeat: This feature allows the virtualization server to detect whether
+the guest partition is running and responsive.
