16 .SH DESCRIPTION
17 .LP
18 \fBtmpfs\fR is a memory based file system which uses kernel resources relating
19 to the \fBVM\fR system and page cache as a file system.
20 .sp
21 .LP
22 \fBmount\fR attaches a \fBtmpfs\fR file system to the file system hierarchy at
23 the pathname location \fImount_point\fR, which must already exist. If
24 \fImount_point\fR has any contents prior to the \fBmount\fR operation, these
25 remain hidden until the file system is once again unmounted. The attributes
26 (mode, owner, and group) of the root of the \fBtmpfs\fR filesystem are
27 inherited from the underlying \fImount_point\fR, provided that those attributes
28 are determinable. If not, the root's attributes are set to their default
29 values. The mode may also be overriden by the \fBmode\fR mount option, which
30 takes precedence if set.
31 .sp
32 .LP
33 The \fIspecial\fR argument is usually specified as \fBswap\fR but is in fact
34 disregarded and assumed to be the virtual memory resources within the system.
