<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    <tt><font size=+1>ramfs</font></tt> [ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;i</font></tt> ] [ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;S</font></tt> <i>service</i> ]<br>

<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION     </b></font><br>

<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>&#8722;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>&#8722;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>
