.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function is similar to \fBparport_register_device\fR, except
that it locates a device by its number rather than by the port
it is attached to.  See \fBparport_find_device\fR and
\fBparport_find_class\fR.
.PP
All parameters except for \fIdevnum\fR are the same as for
\fBparport_register_device\fR.  The return value is the same as
for \fBparport_register_device\fR.
