+Multipathd commands that take a $format option require a format string. This
+string controls how a device is printed and should include format wildcards.
+When the devices are printed, these wildcards will be replaced by the
+appropriate device information. The following wildcards are supported.
+.TP
+.B Multipath format wildcards
+.RS
+.TP 12
+.B %n
+The device name.
+.TP
+.B %w
+The device WWID (uuid).
+.TP
+.B %d
+The device sysfs name (dm-<minor_nr>).
+.TP
+.B %F
+The device \fBfailback\fR setting. For deferred failbacks, it will either
+print the configured time if a deferred failback is not in progress, or
+it will show the current progress of a deferred failback.
+.TP
+.B %Q
+The device \fBno_path_retry\fR setting. If no_path_retry is set to a
+number of retires, it will either print the configured number of checker
+retries if the device is not in recovery mode, the number of seconds until
+queueing is disabled if the device is queueing in recovery mode, or \fIoff\fR
+if the device has disabled queueing.
+.TP
+.B %N
+The number of active paths for the device.
+.TP
+.B %r
+The device write-protect setting, either \fIro\fR or \fIrw\fR.
+.TP
+.B %t
+The device-mapper state of the device, either \fIsuspend\fR or \fIactive\fR.
+.TP
+.B %S
+The device size.
+.TP
+.B %f
+The device table features string.
+.TP
+.B %x
+The number of times the device has entered a state where it will fail IO.
+This is an alias for the \fB%4\fR wildcard.
+This value can be reset with the '\fIreset map $map stats\fR' command.
+.TP
+.B %h
+The device table hardware handler string.
+.TP
+.B %A
+The last action multipathd took on the device. This wildcard is for debugging
+use, as understanding its meaning requires looking at the code.
+.TP
+.B %0
+The number of times a path in the device has failed.
+This value can be reset with the '\fIreset map $map stats\fR' command.
+.TP
+.B %1
+The number of times multipathd has initiated a pathgroup switch for the device.
+This value can be reset with the '\fIreset map $map stats\fR' command.
+.TP
+.B %2
+The number of times multipathd has loaded a new table for the device.
+This value can be reset with the '\fIreset map $map stats\fR' command.
+.TP
+.B %3
+The approximate number of seconds that multipathd has spent queueing with
+no usable paths. This value can be reset with the '\fIreset map $map stats\fR'
+command.
+.TP
+.B %4
+The number of times the device has entered a state where it will fail IO.
+This is an alias for the \fB%x\fR wildcard.
+This value can be reset with the '\fIreset map $map stats\fR' command.
+.TP
+.B %s
+The vendor/product string for the device.
+.TP
+.B %v
+The array vendor string for the device.
+.TP
+.B %p
+The array product string for the device.

+.B %e
+The array firmware revision string for the device.
+.TP
+.B %G
+The foreign library used for the device, or \fB--\fR for native device-mapper
+multipath devices.
+.TP
+.B %g
+Data from vendor specific vpd pages for the device, if any.
+.TP
+.B %k
+The actual max_sectors_kb setting for the device (which may be different from
+the configured one).
