MOUNTCD(1)  —  NEWS-OS Programmer’s Manual

NAME

mountcd, umountcd − mount/unmount CD-ROM disc

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sony/bin/mountcd [ −o options ] filesystem directory /usr/sony/bin/umountcd { filesystem | directory }

DESCRIPTION

mountcd mounts a High Sierra or ISO-9660 format CD-ROM disc in the specified directory. 
While it is mounted the disc can be accessed just like the rest of the NEWS-OS file system, with the exception of some restrictions such as the fact that it is read-only.
Refer to the discussion of fstab(5) for a description of valid options when mounted.  umountcd unmounts the CD-ROM disc. 

EXAMPLES

To mount a CD-ROM disc:
mountcd /dev/sd06c /cdrom

To unmount a CD-ROM disc:
umountcd /cdrom

FILES

/etc/mtabMounted file system table

SEE ALSO

mountu(1), umountu(1), fstab(5), mount(8), unmount(8)

BUGS

In actuality, mountcd and umountcd are shell scripts which call mountu(1) and umountu(1).  Consequently, error messages, etc. are not displayed under these command names.
