+# There are a number of modifiers that are allowed to be used in the NAME or PROGRAM fields.
+# They provide the following subsitutions:
+# %n - the "kernel number" of the device.
+#      for example, 'sda3' has a "kernel number" of '3'
+# %k - the kernel name for the device.
+# %M - the kernel major number for the device
+# %m - the kernel minor number for the device
+# %b - the bus id for the device
+# %c - the return value for the CALLOUT program (note, this doesn't work within
+#      the PROGRAM field for the obvious reason.)
+# %D - use the devfs style disk name for this device.
+#      For partitions, this will result in 'part%n'
+#      If this is not a partition, it will result in 'disc'
