nfsmount(2)                                           nfsmount(2)



     NAME
          nfsmount - mount an NFS file system

     SYNOPSIS
          nfsmount(addr, fh, dir, roflag, hard)
          struct sockaddr_in *addr;
          fhandle_t *fh;
          char *freq;
          int roflag;
          int hard;


     DESCRIPTION
          nfsmount mounts an NFS file system on the directory dir.
          addr is the udp(5P) address of the server that owns the file
          system to mount.  fh is a file handle, obtained from the
          server, to identify the root directory on the server that is
          being mounted.

          The roflag argument determines whether the file system can
          be written on; if it is 0 writing is allowed, if non-zero no
          writing is done.

          The hard argument determines whether the remote file system
          is mounted hard or soft.  A soft mount causes an error to be
          returned when a remote access times out.  Hard mounts cause
          the access to retry until the server responds.  A value of 1
          indicates a hard mount.

     RETURN VALUE
          nfsmount returns 0 if the action occurred, -1 if some error
          occurred.

     ERRORS
          nfsmount will fail when one of the following occurs:

          [EPERM]        The caller is not the super-user or the path
                         name given for dir contains characters with
                         the high bit set.

          [ENAMETOOLONG] The path name for dir is too long.

          [ELOOP]        dir contains a symbolic link loop.

          [ETIMEDOUT]    The server at addr is not accessable.  This
                         can only happen if the hard flag is set.

          [ENOTDIR]      A component of the path prefix in dir is not
                         a directory.

          [EBUSY]        Another process currently holds a reference
                         to fh.
