NAME
gmount - mount or remove non-standard file system
SYNOPSIS
gmount(fstype, dev, flag [, more])
int fstype, flag;
dev_t dev;
DESCRIPTION
Gmount mounts or unmounts a non-standard file system of type
fstype. Dev is a device number identifying the object
mounted; the minor part should be zero. Device numbers are
not shared by different filesystem types. The filesystem is
mounted if flag is zero, dismounted if it is 1.
Different types of filesystems may require additional argu-
ments when mounting. Only fstype, dev, and flag need be
given to unmount.
The possible calls are:
gmount(1, dev, 0, fildes, name);
Mount a network filesystem on directory name; fildes is the
file descriptor of a stream connected to an appropriate
server.
gmount(2, dev, 0);
Mount the process filesystem. Dev is (stupidly) really a
character pointer, and denotes the directory on which to
mount.
gmount(3, dev, 0, fildes, name);
Mount a process on file name; fildes is the file descriptor
of a stream.
DIAGNOSTICS
Gmount returns 0 if the action occurred; -1 otherwise.
BUGS
Filesystem type 0 (the standard one) should work; it
doesn't.
The process filesystem should work like everything else.
