ramfs – memory file system |
SYNOPSIS
|
ramfs [ –abcAD ] [ –s srv ] [ –m mnt ] [ –n addr ] [ –V volspec ] |
DESCRIPTION
|
Ramfs services a ram file system for temporary and volatile files.
By default, ramfs mounts itself at /tmp. Option –m can be used
to mount it at mnt instead. Flags –abc mount after, before, and
allowing file creation, as mount(2) describes. In the same way, options –s and –n request the server to register srv with srv(3) and to listen for clients at network address addr. Clients are authenticated via factotum(4) unless flag –A is given or the client connects from the local machine. This program is useful as a volatile place holder of information that must be exported to the network in a secure way. It is a good candidate to place on it synthetized and context information for others to know. The –V option makes ramfs announce the volume with the given volspec and appropriate default constraints for the user name, system name, and location. The –D flag shows 9P messages sent and received, for diagnostics.
In gereral, the options related to Plan B file servers for volumes
are described in planbfs(4) and have the same meaning in this
and other file servers developed for Plan B. |
