PUFFS(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PUFFS(4)
NAME
puffs - Pass-to-Userspace Framework File System
SYNOPSIS
file-system PUFFS
pseudo-device putter
DESCRIPTION
puffs provides a framework for creating file systems as userspace
servers. The in-kernel VFS attachment is controlled through a special
device node, /dev/puffs. People looking to implement file systems should
use the system through the convenience library described in puffs(3).
Termination
A puffs file system can be unmounted regularly using umount(8). The file
system will automatically be unmounted in case the userspace server is
killed or the control file descriptor closed.
