NAME

srv, 9fs, dk232, dkmodem  − start network file service

SYNOPSIS

­srv [ ­-m ] [ ­-t ] [net!]system[!service [ ­srvname [ ­mtpt ] ]

­9fs ­-t [net!]system [mountpoint]

­dk232 [server]

­dkmodem [telno]

DESCRIPTION

­Srv dials the given machine and initializes the connection to serve the 9P protocol.  It then creates in ­/srv a file named srvname. Users can then ­mount (see bind(1)) the service, typically on a name in /n, to access the files provided by the remote machine.  If ­srvname is omitted, the first argument to ­srv is used.  Option ­m directs ­srv to mount the service on /n/system or onto ­mtpt if it is given.  If option ­t is given, the mount is authenticated. 

The specified ­service must serve 9P.  Usually ­service can be omitted; when calling some non-Plan 9 systems, a ­service such as ­u9fs must be mentioned explicitly. 

The ­9fs command does the ­srv and the ­mount necessary to make available the files of ­system on network ­net.  The files are mounted on mountpoint, if given; otherwise they are mounted on /n/system.  If ­system contains ­/ characters, only the last element of ­system is used in the ­/n name.  With option ­t the mount is authenticated. 

­Dk232 configures a serial line as a Datakit device and connects to a file server (default bootes) using 9fs. 

­Dkmodem dials a file server at telephone number ­telno and configures the line as a Datakit device using 9fs. 

EXAMPLES

To see kremvax’s and deepthought’s files in ­/n/kremvax and /n/deepthought:

9fs kremvax
9fs hhgttg/deepthought

NOTE

The TCP port used for 9P is 564.
