.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Options are specified with a
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
man page for possible options and their meanings.

|
the kernel message buffer, also read by
