NAME
     devfs — device file system

DESCRIPTION
     The device file system, or devfs, provides access to kernel's device
     namespace in the global file system namespace.  It is mounted automati‐
     cally on /dev.

     The file system includes several directories, links, symbolic links and
     devices, some of which can also be written.  In a chroot'ed environment,
     devfs can be used to create a new /dev mount point.

FILES
     /dev	The normal devfs mount point.

SEE ALSO

HISTORY
     The devfs file system first appeared in DragonFly 2.3.
