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:
-o
- Options are specified with a
-o
flag followed by a
comma separated string of options. See the
mount(8) man page for
possible options and their meanings.
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.
