+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wbwd
+.Nd device driver for watchdog timer found on Winbond Super I/O chips
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device wbwd"
+.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
+wbwd_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In
+.Pa /boot/device.hints :
+.Cd hint.wbwd.0.at="isa"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides
+.Xr watchdog 4
+support for the watchdog interrupt timer present on at least the following
+Winbond Super I/O chips:

+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides the following options as
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables.
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
+.It Va dev.wbwd.0.timeout_override
+This variable allows to program the timer to a value independent on the one
+provided by the
+.Xr watchdog 4
+framework while still relying on the regular updates from e.g.
+.Xr watchdogd 8 .
+This is particularly useful if your system provides multiple watchdogs and
+you want them to fire in a special sequence to trigger an NMI after a shorter
+period than the reset timeout for example.
+The value set must not be lower than the sleep time of
+.Xr watchdogd 8 .
+A value of 0 disables this feature and the timeout value provided by
+.Xr watchdog 4
+will be used.
+.It Va dev.wbwd.0.debug_verbose
+If set this sysctl will tell the driver to log its current state before and
+after the timer reset on each invocation from
+.Xr watchdog 9
+to the kernel message buffer for debugging.
+.It Va dev.wbwd.0.debug
+This read-only value gives the state of some registers on last update.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver also provides further sysctl options that are hidden by default.
+See the source code for more information.
