+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mount_fdesc
+.Nd mount the file-descriptor file system
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mount_fdesc
+.Op Fl o Ar options
+.Ar fdesc
+.Ar mount_point
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm mount_fdesc
+command attaches an instance of the per-process file descriptor
+namespace to the global filesystem namespace.
+The conventional mount point is
+.Pa /dev
+and the filesystem should be union mounted in order to augment,
+rather than replace, the existing entries in
+.Pa /dev .
+This command is normally executed by
+.Xr mount 8
+at boot time.
+.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.
+.El
+.Pp
+The contents of the mount point are
+.Pa fd ,
+.Pa stderr ,
+.Pa stdin ,
+.Pa stdout
+and
+.Pa tty .
+.Pp
+.Pa fd
+is a directory whose contents
+appear as a list of numbered files
+which correspond to the open files of the process reading the
+directory.
+The files
+.Pa /dev/fd/0
+through
+.Pa /dev/fd/#
+refer to file descriptors which can be accessed through the file
+system.
+If the file descriptor is open and the mode the file is being opened
+with is a subset of the mode of the existing descriptor, the call:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+fd = open("/dev/fd/0", mode);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+and the call:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+fd = fcntl(0, F_DUPFD, 0);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+are equivalent.
+.Pp
+The files
+.Pa /dev/stdin ,
+.Pa /dev/stdout
+and
+.Pa /dev/stderr
+appear as symlinks to the relevant entry in the
+.Pa /dev/fd
+sub-directory.
+Opening them is equivalent to the following calls:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+fd = fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
+fd = fcntl(STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
+fd = fcntl(STDERR_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Flags to the
+.Xr open 2
+call other than
+.Dv O_RDONLY ,
+.Dv O_WRONLY
+and
+.Dv O_RDWR
+are ignored.
+.Pp
+The
+.Pa /dev/tty
+entry is an indirect reference to the current process's controlling terminal.
+It appears as a named pipe (FIFO) but behaves in exactly the same way as
+the real controlling terminal device.
+.Sh FILES

+.Xr mount 8
+.Sh CAVEATS
+No
+.Pa .
+and
+.Pa ..
+entries appear when listing the contents of the
+.Pa /dev/fd
+directory.
+This makes sense in the context of this filesystem, but is inconsistent
+with usual filesystem conventions.
+However, it is still possible to refer to both
+.Pa .
+and
+.Pa ..
+in a pathname.
+.Pp
+This filesystem may not be NFS-exported.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm mount_fdesc
+utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
