| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| <i>Ramfs</i> starts a 9P file server keeping all files in memory. Initially |
| the file tree is empty. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| By default <i>ramfs</i> posts its service as <tt><font size=+1>ramfs</font></tt> using <a href="../man4/9pserve.html"><i>9pserve</i>(4)</a>. |
| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| The <tt><font size=+1>−S</font></tt> flag specifies an alternate service name for ramfs to use. |
| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| The <tt><font size=+1>−i</font></tt> flag tells <i>ramfs</i> to use file descriptors 0 and 1 for its |
| communication channel rather than create a pipe. This makes it |
| possible to use <i>ramfs</i> as a file server on a remote machine: the |
| file descriptors 0 and 1 will be the network channel from <i>ramfs</i> |
| to the client machine. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| This program is useful mainly as an example of how to write a |
| user-level file server. It can also be used to provide high-performance |
| temporary files.<br> |
