MOUNT_HFS(8) | System Manager's Manual | MOUNT_HFS(8) |
mount_hfs
— mount
an Apple HFS+ File System
mount_hfs |
[-o options]
special node |
The mount_hfs
command attaches the Apple
HFS+ File System on the special device on to the file
system tree at point node. Both
special and node are converted
to absolute paths before use.
This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time. The options are as follows:
Apple disk images (.dmg files) and hybrid CD-ROMs contain multiple partitions with an HFS+ file system on one of them. Use apmlabel(8) to enter it into the disklabel and mount the resulting partition.
The mount_hfs
utility first appeared in
NetBSD 5.0.
mount_hfs
was developed by
Yevgeny Binder
<yevbee@comcast.net>
during the 2005 Google Summer of Code. It was improved and imported into
NetBSD by Dieter Baron
<dillo@NetBSD.org>.
HFS+ support is still experimental. Currently, no write support is present. Also, Unicode decomposition is not performed on file names prior to lookup.
