4 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .SH SYNOPSIS
11 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .I service
13 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .SH DESCRIPTION
15 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull starts a 9P file server
16 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull keeping all files in memory.
17 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull Initially the file tree is empty.
19 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull By default
21 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull posts its service as
24 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .IR 9pserve (4).
28 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull flag specifies an alternate service name for ramfs to use.
32 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull flag tells
34 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull to use file descriptors 0 and 1 for its communication channel
35 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull rather than create a pipe.
36 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull This makes it possible to use
38 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull as a file server on a remote machine: the file descriptors 0
39 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull and 1 will be the network channel from
41 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull to the client machine.
43 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull This program is useful mainly as an example of how
44 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull to write a user-level file server.
45 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull It can also be used to provide high-performance temporary files.
