+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cloudabi ,
+.Nm cloudabi64
+.Nd CloudABI support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+Support for 64-bit CloudABI executables can be compiled into the kernel
+by adding this line to the kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options COMPAT_CLOUDABI64"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+CloudABI support can also be loaded at boot time from
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cloudabi_load="YES"
+cloudabi64_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+CloudABI is a POSIX-like pure capability-based runtime environment,
+similar to
+.Xr capsicum 4 .
+It can be used to develop applications that are cross-platform,
+easier to test,
+and hardened against security exploits.
+.Pp
+Support for CloudABI on
+.Fx
+consists of two separate kernel modules.
+The
+.Nm cloudabi
+kernel module implements all of the system calls that do not depend on
+data structures that differ between architectures.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm cloudabi64
+kernel module provides implementations of all of the machine-dependent
+system calls.
+It assumes that pointers stored in data structures provided as system
+call arguments are 64 bits in size.
+It also provides the image activator that loads and starts 64-bit ELF
+executables.
+.Pp
+Though the
+.Nm cloudabi
+module can be loaded on any architecture supported by
+.Fx ,
+the
+.Nm cloudabi64
+module is only available for amd64.
+.Pp
+A full cross compilation toolchain for CloudABI is available in the
+.Pa devel/cloudabi-toolchain
+port.
+.Pp
+The
+.Pa sysutils/cloudabi-utils
+port provides the
+.Xr cloudabi-run 1
+utility.
+.Xr cloudabi-run 1
+can be used to safely execute CloudABI processes with access to a
+restricted set of resources.
