+ <para>The device node specifier is either a path to a device
+ node in the file system, starting with
+ <filename>/dev/</filename>, or a string starting with either
+ <literal>char-</literal> or <literal>block-</literal>
+ followed by a device group name, as listed in
+ <filename>/proc/devices</filename>. The latter is useful to
+ whitelist all current and future devices belonging to a
+ specific device group at once. The device group is matched
+ according to file name globbing rules, you may hence use the
+ <literal>*</literal> and <literal>?</literal>
+ wildcards. Examples: <filename>/dev/sda5</filename> is a
+ path to a device node, referring to an ATA or SCSI block
+ device. <literal>char-pts</literal> and
+ <literal>char-alsa</literal> are specifiers for all pseudo
+ TTYs and all ALSA sound devices,
+ respectively. <literal>char-cpu/*</literal> is a specifier
+ matching all CPU related device groups.</para>
