Virtual Memory Filesystem (?)

[Mike McNally]

Could one of the cognoscenti fill me in on this ``virtual memory file
system'' of ``4.4''BSD?  Is it like the Multics file system (about which I 
know almost nothing)?  How does it handle multiple connections to the 
same file?  Why is it better than open(), close(), read(), and write()?

I'm just curious.
