NAME
       memfs - mount a heap based filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       memfs [-s] [-rab] [-m size] [mountpoint]

DESCRIPTION
       Memfs  mounts a newly created heap-based filesystem on the given mount‐
       point directory (default /tmp).

       The filesystem is entirely maintained in memory, no external storage is
       used.  File data is allocated in 512 byte blocks.  If a maximum size is
       specified, the actual maximum is rounded down to the nearest whole num‐
       ber of blocks:

	      actualsize := (size / 512) * 512;

       The  root  of the filesystem is owned by the user who invoked memfs and
       is created with Read, Write and Execute permissions for the  owner  and
       Read and Execute permissions for everyone else (8r755).

OPTIONS
       -s     Serve styx on file descriptor 0.	The mountpoint and other mount
	      options are ignored.

       -r     The default option.  The	old  mountpoint	 directory  becomes  a
	      union  directory consisting of just the root of the new filesys‐
	      tem.

       -a     Add the root of the new filesystem  to  the  end	of  the	 union
	      directory represented by the mountpoint directory.

       -b     Add the root of the new filesystem to the beginning of the union
	      directory represented by the mountpoint directory.
