      1 .TH MOUNT 1
      2 .SH NAME
      3 mount, unmount \- change name space
      4 .SH SYNOPSIS
      5 .B mount
      6 .I servename
      7 .I mtpt
      8 .PP
      9 .B unmount
     10 .I mtpt
     11 .SH DESCRIPTION
     12 .I Mount
     13 mounts a 9P server's files into the file system.
     14 .I Servename
     15 is typically 
     16 either the name of a Unix domain socket
     17 (see
     18 .MR namespace (1) )
     19 or the name or IP address of a machine
     20 serving 9P over TCP port 564.
     21 .PP
     22 .I Unmount
     23 undoes the effects of the
     24 .I mount
     25 command.
     26 .PP
     27 9P services can be mounted on Unix systems in multiple ways.
     28 On Linux,
     29 .I mount
     30 uses the native 9P kernel module when present.
     31 Otherwise it tries to use
     32 .MR 9pfuse (4)
     33 with the FUSE file system module.
     34 Using the 9P kernel module requires root access.
     35 FUSE can often be used by regular users.
     36 On FreeBSD,
     37 .I mount
     38 tries to use FUSE.
     39 .PP
     40 Since Unix already has a 
     41 .I mount
     42 command, the version described in this manual page
     43 should be invoked as
     44 .B 9
     45 .BR mount .
     46 .SH EXAMPLES
