IMPORT(4) IMPORT(4)
NAME
import - import a name space from a remote system
SYNOPSIS
import [ option ... ] system file [ mountpoint ]
DESCRIPTION
Import allows an arbitrary file on a remote system to be
imported into the local name space. Usually file is a
directory, so the complete file tree under the directory is
made available.
A process is started on the remote machine, with authority
of the user of import, to perform work for the local machine
using the exportfs(4) service. If mountpoint is omitted
import uses the name of the remote file as the local mount
point.
If file is a directory, import allows options exactly as in
mount and bind(1) to control the construction of union
directories.
EXAMPLE
To allow a Datakit-only machine to access an Ethernet using
TCP:
import -a kremvax /net
con tcp!ucbvax
or
import -a kremvax /net
echo 'add tcp' > /net/cs
con ucbvax
