 If \fBscsi_id\fP is invoked with one argument without a leading \-, it
 assumes it is called for a hotplug event, and looks for the sysfs device
-in the DEVPATH environment variable.

-This mode is used when run via the \fBudev\fP PROGRAM key. Passing any
-arguments or options as part of the PROGRAM rule breaks this assumption,
-and the results will likely not be as expected.

-When in this mode, all errors and warnings are sent via syslog.
+If the DEVPATH environment variable is set, scsi_id assumes it has been
+invoked via udev (or some other hotplug program), and all errors or
+warnings are sent using syslog.
