# Loop Device
In Unix-like operating systems, a loop device is a pseudo-device that makes a computer file accessible as a block device. Thus, if the file contains an entire file system, the file may then be mounted as if it were a disk device.
In [Linux](Linux.md) loop devices can be managed with the [losetup](../applications/cli/losetup.md) command.
