Yup. This one is my top entry for the confusomatic contest.
/dev/acme/event seems to provide one on output and requires one for
the input to be valid.
However, as was seen, I couldn't provide one to "addr".
The interface seems a bit inconsistent based on my current knowledge
but I enjoyed running through xfid.c and seeing how that was all
parsed out all the same.
I think maybe the man page should be more specific about some of this
stuff, I may fix it and get a patch in for it over the weekend.
Looks like the site's back up. Glad to see that :-)
