30.Sh NAME
31.Nm max44009
32.Nd driver for MAX44009 Ambient Light Sensor
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device max44009"
39.Cd "device iicbus"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in

48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver reports illuminance data from MAX44009 Ambient Light Sensor.
52.Pp
53The
54.Nm
55driver reports data via
56.Xr sysctl 8
57entry in the device's node in the
58.Xr sysctl 8
59tree:
60.Bl -tag -width illuminance
61.It Va illuminance
62The illuminance, in lux units.
63.El
64.Pp
65On an
