<para> The device file system, <literal>DEVFS</literal>,

provides access to the kernel's device namespace in the

global file system namespace. Instead of having to

manually create and modify device nodes,
|

<literal>DEVFS</literal> automatically maintains this

particular file system. Refer to &man.devfs.5; for

more information.</para>
