- The file /_d_e_v/_m_e_m is a special file that is an image of the core memory
- of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine, and even to
- patch the system.
-
- Byte addresses in /_d_e_v/_m_e_m are interpreted as memory addresses.
- References to non-existent locations cause errors to be returned.
-
- Examining and patching device registers is likely to lead to unexpected
- results when read-only or write-only bits are present.
-
- The file /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m is similar to /_d_e_v/_m_e_m except that kernel virtual
- memory, rather than physical memory, is accessed. _r_e_a_d(_2) and _w_r_i_t_e(_2)
- access is supported, to kernel virtual space that represents physical
- memory. _m_m_a_p(2) access to /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m is not supported. This is due to
- _m_m_a_p creating data consistency problems which could lead to corrupted
- data and kernel panics.
-
- The file /_d_e_v/_m_m_e_m is similar to /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m except that only _m_m_a_p(2)
- access is permitted (both read and write), and only for those addresses
- configured into the system via the file /_v_a_r/_s_y_s_g_e_n/_m_a_s_t_e_r._d/_m_e_m and the
- /_e_t_c/_a_u_t_o_c_o_n_f_i_g script.

- Some of /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m cannot be read because of write-only addresses or
- unequipped memory addresses.
