ROOT(3)                    Library Functions Manual                    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.
