+.SH NAME
+/proc/filesystems \- supported filesystems
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.I /proc/filesystems
+A text listing of the filesystems which are supported by the kernel,
+namely filesystems which were compiled into the kernel or whose kernel
+modules are currently loaded.
+(See also
+.BR filesystems (5).)
+If a filesystem is marked with "nodev",
+this means that it does not require a block device to be mounted
+(e.g., virtual filesystem, network filesystem).
+.IP
+Incidentally, this file may be used by
+.BR mount (8)
+when no filesystem is specified and it didn't manage to determine the
+filesystem type.
+Then filesystems contained in this file are tried
+(excepted those that are marked with "nodev").
