Yes, please submit a concrete wording for the change/addition in documentation. Does not need to be a SVN diff (but could), a paragraph or two in "prosa" are OK, so I can add that to the documentation. (Personally, I've got not much experience with MacOS myself.)

Dear avrdude team,

As a macOS user, I did find it difficult to find out what the port number needs to be when flashing an arduino uno device.

I would like to suggest a improvement in the documentation.

- A header specific for macOS on the page https://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_18.html#Unix-Port-Names

- Along with a instruction how to find the current port name. For example
ls /dev/tty.usb*

If it is too much of a hussle I would like to edit the page myself if the addition is wanted.

Thank you for the project,

Jeroen
