| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .I Mount |
| mounts a 9P server's files into the file system. |
| .I Servename |
| is typically |
| either the name of a Unix domain socket |
| (see |
| .IR namespace (4)) |
| or the name or IP address of a machine |
| serving 9P over TCP port 564. |
| .PP |
| .I Unmount |
| undoes the effects of the |
| .I mount |
| command. |
| .PP |
| 9P services can be mounted on Unix systems in multiple ways. |
| On Linux, |
| .I mount |
| uses the native 9P kernel module when present. |
| Otherwise it tries to use |
| .IR 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, |
| .I mount |
| tries to use FUSE. |
| .PP |
| Since Unix already has a |
| .I mount |
| command, the version described in this manual page |
| should be invoked as |
| .B 9 |
| .BR mount . |
