mount(1M)                     UNIX System V(RFS)                      mount(1M)


NAME
      mount - mount remote resources

SYNOPSIS
      mount [-F rfs] [-cr] [-o specific_options] 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:

     -F rfs Specifies the rfs-FSType.

     -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 specific option must be used.

     -o     Specify the rfs file system specific options in a comma-separated
             list.  The available options are:

             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.
                            Note that mounting a resource from an untrusted
                            server introduces possible security risks.  While
                            the use of nosuid protects against some risks, it
                            is not completely effective.  The best defense
                            against such security risks is to avoid such
                            mounts.
