devfs(8) rules in rc(8). It is most useful for applying rules to devfs(5) mount points in /dev or inside jails. The following line of script is sufficient to mount a relatively useful+secure devfs(5) in a jail: devfs_mount_jail /some/jail/dev Some new shell routines available to scripts that source rc.subr(5): o devfs_link - Makes it a little easier to create symlinks o devfs_init_rulesets - Create devfs(8) rulesets from devfs.rules o devfs_set_ruleset - Set a ruleset to a devfs(5) mount o devfs_apply_ruleset - Apply a ruleset to a devfs(5) mount o devfs_domount - Mount devfs(5) and apply some ruleset o devfs_mount_jail - Mount devfs(5) and apply a ruleset appropriate to jails. Additional rulesets can be specified in /etc/devfs.rules. If the devfs_system_ruleset variable is defined in rc.conf and it contains the name of a ruleset defined in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules or user supplied rulesets in /etc/devfs.rules then that ruleset will be applied to /dev at startup by the /etc/rc.d/devfs script. It can also be applied post-startup: /etc/rc.d/devfs start This is a more flexible mechanism than the previous method of using /etc/devfs.conf. However, that method is still available. Note: since devfs(8) doesn't provide any way for creating symlinks as part of a ruleset, anyone wishing to create symlinks in a devfs(5) as part of the bootup sequence will still have to rely on /etc/devfs.conf.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
