+.Sh NAME
+.Nm qat_c2xxx
+.Nd Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) driver for Atom C2000 chipsets
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device crypto"
+.Cd "device cryptodev"
+.Cd "device qat"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following lines in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+qat_c2xxx_load="YES"
+qat_c2xxxfw_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver implements
+.Xr crypto 4
+support for some of the cryptographic acceleration functions of the Intel
+QuickAssist (QAT) device found on Atom C2000 devices.
+QAT devices are enumerated through PCIe and are thus visible in
+.Xr pciconf 8
+output.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver can accelerate AES in CBC, CTR, and GCM modes,
+and can perform authenticated encryption combining the CBC, and CTR modes
+with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC.
+The
+.Nm
+driver can also compute SHA1 and SHA2 digests.
+The implementation of AES-GCM has a firmware-imposed constraint that the length
+of any additional authenticated data (AAD) must not exceed 240 bytes.
+The driver thus rejects
+.Xr crypto 9
+requests that do not satisfy this constraint.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 13.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written for
+.Nx
+by
+.An Hikaru Abe Aq Mt hikaru@iij.ad.jp .
+.An Mark Johnston Aq Mt markj@FreeBSD.org
+ported the driver to
+.Fx .
+.Sh BUGS
+Some Atom C2000 QAT devices have two acceleration engines instead of one.
+The
+.Nm
+driver currently misbehaves when both are enabled and thus does not enable
+the second acceleration engine if one is present.
