FUSERMOUNT(8)           NetBSD System Manager's Manual           FUSERMOUNT(8)


NAME

     fusermount -- manage librefuse mount items


SYNOPSIS

     fusermount [-chpVx] [-d name] refuseoptions
     fusermount -u mountpoint(s)


DESCRIPTION

     The fusermount utility acts as a frontend to the refuse(3) library,
     allowing mounting and unmounting of refuse-based file systems.

     There are essentially two forms of the fusermount command.  The first,
     and default option, is to mount a refuse-based file system.  By using the
     -u argument, the file system can be unmounted.

     The arguments to fusermount are as follows:

     -c      Set a flag to enable kernel caching of files.  At present this
             option has no effect.

     -d name
             Make the name argument appear as the file system name in mount(8)
             and df(1) output.

     -h      Print a usage message and exit.

     -p      Check the file permissions.  At present this option has no
             effect.

     -V      Display the fusermount version on stdout, and then exit success-
             fully.

     -x      Allow mortal (non-root) users to access the file system.  At
             present, this option has no effect.

     The fusermount utility is included mainly for compatibility reasons,
     since some file systems demand its existence.


EXIT STATUS

     fusermount returns 0 for successful operation, or non-zero if one of the
     operations did not complete successfully.


EXAMPLES

     The command
           fusermount -d ntfs-3g unused mount.ntfs-3g ntfs.img /mnt
     will mount the file ntfs.img on the directory /mnt.  Please note the
     unused argument in the command, which is necessary for compatibility with
     other implementations of the fusermount command.
