Re: should there be a manpage for every device? every kernel configuration interface attribute?

Also for /dev files too.

So in addition to my other two scripts, here's another:

 m=`uname -m` ; find /dev -type c -o -type b | xargs -n 1 basename |
 tr -d '.' | sed -E -e 's,[0-9][a-z]+$,,g' -e 's,[0-9]+$,,g' |
 egrep -v '^pty|^dty|tty|^$' | sort -u |  while read d ; do
   [ -e "/usr/share/man/man4/$d.4" ] ||
   [ -e "/usr/share/man/man4/$m/$d.4" ] || echo "$d needed" ; done

So on my amd64 HEAD plus my notes added:

That will help too.
