As mentioned in the header of both these files, you should take a look
at the rcS(5) and tmpfs(5) manual pages, both of which go into much
more detail. The files themselves only contain one line comments;
there's no point duplicating the entire manual page in the
configuration file.
If you would like additional information adding, please do file bugs,
patches if you have proposed text. It's all in the public git repo.
