 Rich,
 
 I'm afraid you'll need to be a bit less cryptic.

 What's wrong with the man page?

 What's wrong is that (in contradiction to the SYNOPSIS), there are no
 devices named /dev/[r]matcdl[0-15][a|c], but there are devices named
 /dev/[r]matcd[0-15]l[a|c]:
 
   %ls /dev/matcd*
   /dev/matcd0a    /dev/matcd0c    /dev/matcd0la   /dev/matcd0lc
 
 Also, other text in the man page agrees with ls.  So, the SYNOPSIS
 appears to be wrong.  Sorry if the initial PR was too cryptic; I
 may have gotten infected by the style of the material I'm reading.
