9PFUSE(4)

📦 version 0_git20260208, in alpine 3.24, arch rolling, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

9pfuse — mount a 9P service via FUSE, bestie. This is the 9PFUSE(4) manual page, and it's lowkey iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

9pfuse [ -D ] [ -A t ] [ -a aname ] addr mtpt

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so 9pfuse mounts the 9P service running at addr onto mtpt using the FUSE user-level file system driver. Main character behavior, honestly. 🫶

It sets up the initial mount and then forks itself into the background, where it serves the FUSE protocol, translating the requests into 9P. The way it's literally the middleman between FUSE and 9P? Obsessed. 😭

The options are:

  • -D — print each FUSE and 9P message to standard error. The group-chat logs of this whole operation, fr fr. 🔥
  • -a aname — use aname as the attach name. Name it and claim it. 🎀
  • -A t — set the kernel cache timeout for attribute information to t (default 1.0) seconds. Timeout queen behavior. ⭐

The fusermount binary must exist in the current search path. No cap. 💀

FUSE is available for Linux 2.4.21 and later, Linux 2.6, and FreeBSD 6.x and later. Slay. 🌸

🎀 SOURCE 🎀

/src/cmd/9pfuse

That's a wrap on the 9PFUSE(4) page, bestie — source lives at /src/cmd/9pfuse, and the footer is just the manual tag with no date in sight. 💖
