ROOT(3)								       ROOT(3)

NAME
       root - the root file system

SYNOPSIS
       /
       /boot
       /dev
       /env
       /net
       /net.alt
       /proc
       /root
       /srv

DESCRIPTION
       The  syntax is illegal, so this device can only be accessed directly by
       the kernel.

       This device is set up by the kernel to be the root of the  name	space.
       The names in the one-level tree are mostly just place-holders, to allow
       a place	to  bind(2)  to.   The	exception  is  /boot,  which  contains
       /boot/boot  and	any  files  /boot/boot might need.  The kernel does an
       exec(2) of /boot/boot when initializing.
