.Sh NAME
.Nm vnconfig
.Nd configure vnode disks
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm vnconfig Fl c
.Op Fl v
.Ar rawdev
.Ar regular_file
.Nm vnconfig Fl u
.Op Fl v
.Ar rawdev
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm vnconfig
command configures vnode pseudo disk devices.
It will associate the special file 
.Ar rawdev
with the regular file
.Ar regular_file
allowing the latter to be accessed as though it were a disk.
Hence a regular file within the filesystem can be used for swapping
or can contain a filesystem that is mounted in the name space.  Both
traditional devices,
.Nm vnd
, and the cache-coherent devices,
.Nm svnd
, are configured through
.Nm
.Pp
Options indicate an action to be performed:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl c
Configures the device.
If successful, references to
.Ar rawdev
will access the contents of
.Ar regular_file .
.It Fl u
Unconfigures the device.
.It Fl v
Print messages to stdout describing actions taken.
.El
.Pp
If no action option is given,
.Fl c
is assumed.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /etc/rvnd?? -compact
.It Pa /dev/{,r}{,s}vnd*
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Pp
.Dl vnconfig svnd0 /tmp/diskimage
.Pp
Configures the vnode disk
.Pa svnd0
(ie. all of it's partitions become useable).
.Pp
.Dl vnconfig -u svnd0
.Pp
Unconfigures the same device.
.Sh BUGS
This command should really be named
.Nm vndconfig .
