.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This device serves a single child directory with a single empty child
file. The name of these files is determined by the first walk away
from the root. After which, the hierarchy for that attached session
becomes stable. The
.B d
attach option causes the child file to be an empty directory. The 
.B e
attach option presents a completly empty root directory.
.SH EXAMPLES
Skeleton files can be used for constructing arbitrary bind targets.
