+.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
+root group id.
+.It Cm uid
+root user id.
+.It Cm mode
+permissions in octal format.
+.It Cm inodes
+maximum number of inodes.
+.It Cm size
+maximum size (in bytes) for the file system.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To mount a
+.Nm
+memory file system:
+.Pp
+.Dl "mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp"
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr nmount 2 ,
+.Xr unmount 2 ,
+.Xr fstab 5 ,
+.Xr mount 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 7.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+kernel implementation was written by
+.An Julio M. Merino Vidal Aq jmmv@NetBSD.org
+as a Google SoC project.
+.Pp
+.An Rohit Jalan
+and others ported it from
+.Nx
+to
+.Fx .

+.An Xin LI Aq delphij@FreeBSD.org .
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Nm
+kernel implementation is currently considered as
+an experimental feature.
+Some file system mount
+time options are not well supported.
