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

     The devfs file system first appeared in FreeBSD 2.0.  The devfs manual
     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.
