NAME
     setmnt - establish mount table

SYNOPSIS
     /sbin/setmnt

DESCRIPTION
     setmnt creates the /etc/mnttab table  which  is  needed  for
     both  the  mount and umount commands.  setmnt reads standard
     input and creates a mnttab entry for each line.  Input lines
     have the format:

          filesys node

     where filesys is the name of  the  file  system's  ``special
     file''  (such as /dev/dsk/c?d?s?)  and node is the root name
     of that file system.  Thus filesys and node become the first
     two strings in the mount table entry.

FILES
     /etc/mnttab

SEE ALSO
     mount(1M).

BUGS
     Problems may occur if filesys or node  are  longer  than  32
     characters.
     setmnt silently enforces  an  upper  limit  on  the  maximum
     number of mnttab entries.
