+.SH NOTES
+.sp
+.LP
+The commands \fBdevreserv\fR and \fBdevfree\fR are used to manage the
+availability of devices on a system. These commands do not place any
+constraints on the access to the device. They serve only as a centralized
+bookkeeping point for those who wish to use them. Processes that do not use
+\fBdevreserv\fR may concurrently use a device with a process that has reserved
+that device.
