ARCHFS(4)
NAME
archfs − mount an archive format filesystem
SYNOPSIS
archfs [ -s ] [ -m mountpoint ] archfile [ prefix ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Archfs mounts the file archfile in archive format on the given mountpoint directory. The mount is read only. Typically the archive file will have been created by mkfs or create. Any further names after the archive file name are treated as prefixes and only files in the archive whose path names begin with one of these prefixes are actually shown under the mount point.
OPTIONS
-m mountpoint
specifies the actual mount point for the archive. The default is /mnt.
-s indicates that the rest of the archive can be skipped once a file is found in the archive which does not start with any of the given prefixes. This is useful when an archive is known to contain a description of it’s contents in the form of a series of header files at the beginning of the archive and all we wish to show under the mount point are the header files.
