+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ppi
+.Nd
+user-space interface to ppbus parallel 'geek' port
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device ppi0 at ppbus?
+.sp
+Minor numbering:  Unit numbers correspond directly to ppbus numbers.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides a convenient means for user applications to manipulate the
+state of the parallel port, enabling easy low-speed I/O operations without
+the security problems inherent with the use of the
+.Pa /dev/io
+interface.
+.Sh PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
+.Pp
+.Fd #include </sys/dev/ppbus/ppi.h>
+.Fd #include </sys/dev/ppbus/ppbconf.h>
+.Pp
+All I/O on the
+.Nm
+interface is performed using
+.Fn ioctl
+calls.  Each command takes a single
+.Ty u_int8_t
+argument, transferring one byte of data.  The following commands are 
+available:
+.Bl -tag -width 10
+.It PPIGDATA, PPISDATA
+Get and set the contents of the data register.
+.It PPIGSTATUS, PPISSTATUS
+Get and set the contents of the status register.
+.It PPIGCTRL, PPISCTRL
+Get and set the contents of the control register.
+The following defines correspond to bits in this register.  Setting
+a bit in the control register drives the corresponding output low.
+.Bl -tag -width 10 -compact
+.It STROBE
+.It AUTOFEED
+.It nINIT
+.It SELECTIN
+.It PCD
+.El
+.It PPIGEPP, PPISEPP
+Get and set the contents of the EPP control register.
+.It PPIGECR, PPISECR
+Get and set the contents of the ECP control register.
+.It PPIGFIFO, PPISFIFO
+Read and write the ECP FIFO (8-bit operations only).
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To present the value 0x5a to the data port, drive STROBE low and then high
+again, the following code fragment can be used:
+.Bd -literal -compact
+
+	int		fd;
+	u_int8_t	val;
+
+	val = 0x5a;
+	ioctl(fd, PPISDATA, &val);
+	ioctl(fd, PPIGCTRL, &val);
+	val |= STROBE;
+	ioctl(fd, PPISCTRL, &val);
+	val &= ~STROBE;
+	ioctl(fd, PPISCTRL, &val);
+
+.Ed
+.Sh BUGS
+The inverse sense of signals is confusing.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn ioctl
+interface is slow, and there is no way (yet) to chain multiple operations together.
+.Pp
+The headers required for user applications are not installed as part of the
+standard system.
