NAME
     puffs -- Pass-to-Userspace Framework File System

SYNOPSIS
     file-system PUFFS
     pseudo-device putter

DESCRIPTION
     puffs provides a framework for creating file systems as userspace servers.  The in-kernel VFS attachment is controlled through a special
     device node, /dev/puffs.  People looking to implement file systems should use the system through the convenience library described in
     puffs(3).

   Termination
     A puffs file system can be unmounted regularly using umount(8).  The file system will automatically be unmounted in case the userspace server
     is killed or the control file descriptor closed.

HISTORY
     An unsupported experimental version of puffs first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.  A stable version appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
