  mf(1)                               CLIX                               mf(1)



  NAME

    mf, uf - Mounts/unmounts a floppy disk

  SYNOPSIS

    mf [-r]

    uf

  FLAGS

    -r     Indicates that the file system must be mounted read-only.  If the
           floppy disk is write-protected, this option must be used.

  DESCRIPTION

    The mf command makes a floppy file system available to users.  The uf
    command makes a floppy file system unavailable to users.

    The mf utility first tries to mount the floppy file system as an S51K file
    system.  If this is unsuccessful, it tries to mount the floppy file system
    as an FFS file system.  When the mount is successful, the floppy file
    system is mounted as /mnt.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To mount a floppy, key in the following:

        mf


    2.  To mount a floppy read-only, key in the following:

        mf -r


  FILES

    /dev/dsk/fl
           Default floppy device.

    /mnt   Default mount point.

    /etc/mnttab
           Mount table.

  WARNINGS

    The mf command allows non-root users to mount a floppy filesystem, which
    may contain privileged executables.

  EXIT VALUES

    Upon successful completion, 0 is returned.  The mf command returns a non-
    zero status if an error errors; the uf command always returns success.
