+.SH NAME
+uhd_find_devices \- USRP Hardware Driver Discovery Utility
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Find UHD-supporting Software Radio Peripherals attached by USB,
+network or embedded configuration.
+.LP
+The UHD package is the universal hardware driver for Ettus Research
+products. The goal is to provide a host driver and API for
+current and future Ettus Research products. Users will be able to use
+the UHD driver standalone or with 3rd party applications.
+.LP
+Hardware supporting UHD drivers includes the Universal Software Radio
+Peripheral, or USRP, available in several models.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B uhd_find_devices [OPTIONS]
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "Device Address Arguments:"
+--args \fIarg\fR
+.IP "This help information:"
+--help
+.SH IDENTIFYING USRP DEVICES
+.sp
+Devices are addressed through key/value string pairs.
+These string pairs can be used to narrow down the search for a specific device or group of devices.
+Most UHD utility applications and examples have a \-\-args parameter that takes a device address,
+where the device address is expressed as a delimited string.
+See the documentation in types/device_addr.hpp for reference.
+
+Every device has several ways of identifying it on the host system.
+.SS Identifying by hardware identifier
+.sp
+
+All USRP devices can be found through their hardware series identifier, which match to USRP
+devices as follows:
+
+Argument | Device
+
+type=usrp1 | USRP1
+
+type=usrp2 | USRP2, USRP N200, USRP N210
+
+type=b100 | USRP B100
+
+type=e100 | USRP E100, USRP E110
+
+.SS Identifying by serial number
+
+All USRP devices are given a unique serial number, which can be used to identify a device as follows:
+
+serial=12345678
+
+.SS Identifying by IP address
+
+USRP2, USRP N200, and USRP N210 devices connected to the host machine can all be found through their
+IP addresses, as follows:
+
+addr=192.168.10.2
+
+.SS Identifying by name
+
+Users have the option of giving their USRP devices short names using the usrp_burn_mb_eeprom utility
+in lib/uhd/utils. Devices that have been given a name can be identified as follows:
+
+name=foo
+
+.fi
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS Device discovery via command line
+.sp
+Device address arguments can be supplied to narrow the scope of the search.
