NAME
devfs -- device file system
SYNOPSIS
devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
DESCRIPTION
The device file system, or devfs, provides access to kernel's device
namespace in the global file system namespace. The conventional mount
point is /dev.
The file system includes several directories, links, symbolic links and
devices, some of which can also be written. In a chroot'ed environment,
devfs can be used to create a new /dev mount point.
The mknod(8) tool can be used to recover deleted device entries under
devfs.
FILES
/dev The normal devfs mount point.
SEE ALSO
mount_devfs(8)
HISTORY

page first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.
AUTHORS
The devfs manual page was written by Mike Pritchard <mpp@FreeBSD.org>,
and was based on the mount_devfs(8) manual page.
