+.SH NAME
+check_driver \- Linux 2.6(.16+) userspace device rebinding helper.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B check_driver driver devpath bustype
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is a \fBRUN\fP script that may be invoked from a udev rule to ensure the
+correct driver is bound to a particular device, in situations where a
+basic driver may bind to it first but a more specialised one is available.
+
+.SH EXAMPLE
+For the wacom device, a rule like this is used:
+
+KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/lib/udev/check_driver wacom $devpath $env{ID_BUS}"
