MOUNT(1)

okay bestie, this is MOUNT(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it’s all about changing your name space — iconic behavior only ✨💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

• mount, unmount — change name space

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

mount servename mtpt

unmount mtpt

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

mount mounts a 9P server’s files into the file system. servename is typically either the name of a Unix domain socket (see namespace(1)) or the name or IP address of a machine serving 9P over TCP port 564. Slay, networking.

unmount undoes the effects of the mount command. It’s giving “undo button, but for file systems” 🫶

9P services can be mounted on Unix systems in multiple ways. On Linux, mount uses the native 9P kernel module when present. Otherwise it tries to use 9pfuse(4) with the FUSE file system module. Using the 9P kernel module requires root access. FUSE can often be used by regular users. On FreeBSD, mount tries to use FUSE.

👑 heads up, bestie: the native 9P kernel module route on Linux needs root access. FUSE is often the regular-user-friendly one.

Since Unix already has a mount command, the version described in this manual page should be invoked as 9 mount. yes, the 9 is doing main character work 💀

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀
