mount(1M)                          (RFS)                          mount(1M)


   NAME
         mount - mount remote resources

   SYNOPSIS
         mount [-F rfs] [-o nocaching][,ro|rw] [,suid|nosuid] [-cr] resource
         directory

   DESCRIPTION
         The mount command makes a remote resource available to users from the
         mount point directory.  The command adds an entry to the table of
         mounted devices, /etc/mnttab.

         If multiple transport providers are installed and administrators
         attempt to mount a resource over them, the transport providers should
         be specified as network IDs in the /etc/netconfig file.  The NETPATH
         environment variable can be used to specify the sequence of transport
         providers mount will use to attempt a connection to a server machine
         (NETPATH=tcp:starlan).  If only one transport provider is installed
         and /etc/netconfig has not been set up, all resources will be mounted
         over this transport provider by default.

         The following options are available:

               -o suboption

                     nocaching      Disable client caching.

                     [rw|ro]        resource is to be mounted read/write or
                                    read-only.  The default is read/write.

                     [suid|nosuid]  set-uid bits are to be obeyed or ignored,
                                    respectively, on execution. The default is
                                    nosuid.

               -c    Disable client caching.  This is the same as -o
                     nocaching.

               -r    resource is to be mounted read-only.  If the resource is
                     write-protected, this flag, or the -o ro flag,  must be
                     used.
