 NAME     
 |  |  |  | ramfs – memory file system 
 | 
 SYNOPSIS     
 |  |  |  | ramfs [ −i ] [ −S service ] 
 | 
 DESCRIPTION     
 |  |  |  | Ramfs starts a 9P file server keeping all files in memory. Initially
    the file tree is empty. 
    
    
    By default ramfs posts its service as ramfs using 9pserve(4).
    
    
    
    The −S flag specifies an alternate service name for ramfs to use.
    
    
    
    The −i flag tells ramfs to use file descriptors 0 and 1 for its
    communication channel rather than create a pipe. This makes it
    possible to use ramfs as a file server on a remote machine: the
    file descriptors 0 and 1 will be the network channel from ramfs
    to the client machine. 
    
    
    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.
