Details:

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
