#include <sys/filio.h>
#include <sys/fs/decomp.h>

The dcfs filesystem is a layered filesystem that you use to compress data when writing to a file and decompress upon read. The primary function of the dcfs filesystem is to compress individual files when constructing a boot archive and when reading or booting from the archive.

ufs(4FS), attributes(7), boot(8), bootadm(8), fiocompress(8)

The dcfs compression/decompression file system works only with UFS.
