   -spec register(RegName, PidOrPort) -> true
                     when RegName :: atom(), PidOrPort :: port() | pid().
 
-  Associates the name RegName with a process identifier (pid) or a
-  port identifier. RegName, which must be an atom, can be used
-  instead of the pid or port identifier in send operator (RegName !
-  Message). Example:
+  Registers the name RegName with a process identifier (pid) or a
+  port identifier in the name registry. RegName, which must be
+  an atom, can be used instead of the pid or port identifier in send
+  operator (RegName ! Message) and most other BIFs that take a pid
+  or port identifies as an argument. Example:
 
     > register(db, Pid).
     true
 
+  The registered name is considered a Directly Visible Erlang
+  Resource and is automatically unregistered when the process
+  terminates.
