+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nandsim
+.Nd NAND Flash simulator driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device nand"
+.Cd "device nandsim"
+.Cd "options ALQ"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+is part of the
+.Fx
+NAND framework
+.Xr nand 4
+and can be characterized with the following highlights:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+plugs into the
+.Xr nand 4
+framework APIs as if it were a hardware controller (hanging on the nexus bus)
+with real NAND chips connected to it
+.It
+physically part of the kernel code (either statically linked into the kernel
+image or built as a module)
+.It
+controlled with a user space program
+.Xr nandsim 8
+.El
+.Pp
+From the user perspective, the
+.Nm
+allows for imitating ONFI-compliant NAND Flash devices as if they were
+attached to the system via a virtual controller.
+.Pp
+Some
+.Nm
+features rely on the ability to log contents to a file, which is achieved
+through the
+.Xr alq 9
+facility.
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+support first appeared in
+.Fx 10.0 .
+.Sh AUTHOR
