.Nd "translate device partial or label to device path"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The

utility directly calls the

function for each supplied device name, translating the device name
to a device path.

The

option will generate just the translated output, one per line.
An empty line is generated if the device name could not be translated.

The
.Fl r
option will take the translated device name and do a further translation
of it if it is a softlink, returning the contents of the softlink.
.Sh FILES
.Nm
will search the
.Pa /usr/local/etc/devtab ,
.Pa /etc/devtab ,
and
.Pa /etc/defaults/devtab
files for label translations.
