+.Sh NAME
+.Nm DEV_MODULE
+.Nd device driver module declaration macro
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/kernel.h
+.In sys/module.h
+.In sys/conf.h
+.Fn DEV_MODULE "name" "modeventhand_t evh" "void *arg"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn DEV_MODULE
+macro declares a device driver kernel module.
+It fills in a
+.Vt moduledata_t
+structure and then calls
+.Fn DECLARE_MODULE
+with the correct args, where
+.Fa name
+is the name of the module and
+.Fa evh
+(with its argument
+.Fa arg )
+is the event handler for the module (refer to
+.Xr DECLARE_MODULE 9
+for more information).
+The event handler is supposed to create the device with
+.Fn make_dev
+on load and to destroy it when it is unloaded using
+.Fn destroy_dev .
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Bd -literal
+#include <sys/module.h>
+#include <sys/conf.h>
+
+static struct cdevsw foo_devsw = { ... };
+
+static struct cdev *sdev;
+
+static int
+foo_load(module_t mod, int cmd, void *arg)
+{
+    int err = 0;
+
+    switch (cmd) {
+    case MOD_LOAD:
+        sdev = make_dev(&foo_devsw, 0, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0600, "foo");
+        break;          /* Success*/
+
+    case MOD_UNLOAD:
+    case MOD_SHUTDOWN:
+        destroy_dev(sdev);
+        break;          /* Success*/
+
+    default:
+        err = EINVAL;
+        break;
+    }
