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  execu-
                              tion. 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.
