MOUNT_9P(8)             NetBSD System Manager's Manual             MOUNT_9P(8)


NAME

     mount_9p -- mount a file server using the 9P resource sharing protocol


SYNOPSIS

     mount_9p [-su] [-o mntopts] [-p port] [user@]host[:path] mount_point


DESCRIPTION

     The mount_9p program is used to mount a file hierarchy served with the
     Plan 9 file sharing protocol: 9P.  After the file system is mounted, the
     files on the remote host will be accessed using the credentials of the
     user named user and whatever UID the user happens to have on the remote
     server.  If path is supplied, it is used as the mount rootpath on the
     remote host.  path must be an absolute path.

     By default mount_9p runs in the background with daemon(3).  With the -s
     option mount_9p runs in the forground.

     By default mount_9p follows the 9P2000 protocol.  With the -u option
     mount_9p follows the 9P2000.u protocol that includes extensions to better
     support Unix environments.
