-.Nd memory files
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The special file
-.Pa /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.
-Only offsets within the bounds of
-.Pa /dev/mem
-are allowed.
-.Pp
-Kernel virtual memory is accessed through the interface
-.Pa /dev/kmem
-in the same manner as
-.Pa /dev/mem .
-Only kernel virtual addresses that are currently mapped to memory are allowed.
-.Pp
-On cats, physical memory is contiguous.
-The kernel virtual memory begins at address
-.Li 0xf0000000 .
-.Pp
-Writeability of these devices is controlled by the system
