.Dt TMPFS 5
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm tmpfs
.Nd "efficient memory file system"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "options TMPFS"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
tmpfs_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver will permit the
.Fx
kernel to access
.Tn tmpfs
file systems.
.Sh OPTIONS
The following options are available when
mounting
.Nm
file systems:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm gid
Specifies the group ID of the root inode of the file system.
Defaults to the mount point's GID.
.It Cm uid
Specifies the user ID of the root inode of the file system.
Defaults to the mount point's UID.
.It Cm mode
Specifies the mode (in octal notation) of the root inode of the file system.
Defaults to the mount point's mode.
.It Cm inodes
Specifies the maximum number of nodes available to the file system.
If not specified, the file system chooses a reasonable maximum based on
the file system size, which can be limited with the
.Cm size
option.
.It Cm size
Specifies the total file system size in bytes.
If zero (the default) or a value larger than SIZE_MAX - PAGE_SIZE
is given, the available amount of memory (including
main memory and swap space) will be used.
.It Cm maxfilesize
Specifies the maximum file size in bytes.
Defaults to the maximum possible value.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
To mount a
.Nm
memory file system:
.Pp
.Dl "mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp"
.Sh SEE ALSO

.Xr mdmfs 8 ,
.Xr mount 8
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
driver first appeared in
.Fx 7.0 .

.Nm
kernel implementation was written by
