NAME
vfs —
kernel interface to file
systems
DESCRIPTION
The virtual file system,vfs, is the kernel interface to
file systems. The interface specifies the calls for the kernel to access file
systems. It also specifies the core functionality that a file system must
provide to the kernel.
The focus of vfs activity is
the vnode and is
discussed in vnode(9). File system operations such as mounting and syncing
are discussed in
vfsops(9).
