.Nm mount_kernfs

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm mount_kern
|
||
|
|
command attaches an instance of the kernel parameter
|
||
|
|
namespace to the global filesystem namespace.
|
||
|
|
The conventional mount point is
|
||
|
|
.Pa /kern .
|
||
|
|
This command is normally executed by
|
||
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
||
|
|
at boot time.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The filesystem includes several regular files which can be read,
|
||
|
|
some of which can also be written.
|
||
|
|
The contents of the files is in a machine-independent format,
|
||
|
|
either a string, or an integer in decimal ASCII.
|
||
|
|
Where numbers are returned, a trailing newline character is also added.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
.It Pa hostname
|
||
|

A trailing newline will be stripped from the hostname being written.
|

|
|
the frequency of the system clock (decimal ASCII).
|

|
.It Pa loadavg
|
||
|

the 1, 5 and 15 minute load average in kernel fixed-point format.
|
||
|

The final integer is the fix-point scaling factor.
|
||
|
|
All numbers are in decimal ASCII.
|
||
|
|
.It Pa physmem
|
||
|
|
the number of pages of physical memory in the machine (decimal ASCII).
|
||
|
|
.It Pa root

|
|
the system root directory.
|
||
|
|
In a chroot'ed environment,
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
can be used to create a new
|
||
|
|
.Pa /kern
|
||
|
|
mount point.
|
||
|
|
.Pa /kern/root
|
||
|

will then refer to the system global root, not the current process root.
|
||
|
|
.It Pa rootdev
|
||
|
|
the root device.
|
||
|
|
.It Pa rrootdev
|

Both numbers are in decimal ASCII.
