SYNOPSISrdconfig special_file 512-byte-blocks
DESCRIPTION
The rdconfig command configures RAM disk devices. It will associate the
special file special_file with a range of user-virtual memory allocated
by the rdconfig process itself. The rdconfig command should be run in the
background. If successful, the command will not return. Otherwise, an er-
ror message will be printed.
To "unconfigure" the ramdisk, just kill the background rdconfig process
started earlier.
