The mount_9p
program is used to mount a
file hierarchy served with the Plan 9 resource 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.
The host name may be optionally enclosed in square brackets. This is required when using numeric IPv6 addresses as they contain colons as part of their syntax.
The -c
option enables to mount a file
system exported by a VM host through a character device file
device backed by the
vio9p(4) driver. See
vio9p(4) for more
information.
