56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57The
58.Nm
59device driver provides a management interface to NOR flash devices supporting
60the Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification.
61Its companion device
62.Nm cfid
63provides a
64.Xr geom 4
65disk interface to the device.
66.Pp
67Special support for features of the Intel StrataFlash line are available
68with the
69.Cd CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH
70kernel option.
71Additional support for write-once bits to switch part of Intel StrataFlash
72devices to read-only can be enabled by the
73.Cd CFI_ARMEDANDDANGEROUS
74kernel option.
