 Add device @var{driver}. Depending on the device type,
-@var{option} (typically @var{key}=@var{value}) may be useful.
+@var{option} (with default or given @var{value}) may be useful.
+To get a help on possible @var{driver}s, @var{option}s or @var{value}s, use
+@code{-device ?},
+@code{-device @var{driver},?} or
+@code{-device @var{driver},@var{option}=?}.
