+.Nd main memory
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The file
+.Nm /dev/mem
+is an interface to the physical memory of the computer.
+Byte offsets in this file are interpreted as physical memory addresses.
+Reading and writing this file is equivalent to reading and writing
+memory itself.
+An error will be returned if an attempt is made to reference
+an offset outside of
+.Nm /dev/mem .
+.Pp
+Kernel virtual memory is accessed via the file
+.Nm /dev/kmem
+in the same manner as
+.Nm /dev/mem .
+Only kernel virtual addresses that are currently mapped to memory are allowed.
+.Pp
+On the
+.Tn Macintosh ,
+physical memory may be discontiguous;
+kernel virtual memory begins at
+.Ad 0x00000000 .
+.Pp
+Writeability of these devices is controlled by the system
