.th MOUNT VIII 5/31/77
.sh NAME
mount \*- mount file system
.sh SYNOPSIS
.bd /etc/mount
[ special  file  [
.bd \-r
]]
.sh DESCRIPTION
.it Mount
announces to the system that a removable file system is present on the device
corresponding to the special file
.it special
(which must refer to a disk or possibly DECtape).
The
.it file
must exist already; its syntax must contain a leading "/", e.g., "/u8",
or the mount request is disallowed and an appropriate error message is
reported; otherwise,
.it file
becomes the name of the root of the newly mounted file system. A
caution message is reported when mounting a file system with
name
.it file,
which is different than the current root name
of the device corresponding to the special file
.it special.
.s3
.it Mount
maintains a table of mounted devices (\c
.it mnttab\^\c
(V));
if invoked without an argument
.it mount
prints the entire table.
.s3
The optional last argument 
[
.bd \-r
]
indicates that the
.it file
is to be mounted read-only.
Physically write-protected and magnetic tape file systems must be mounted
in this way or errors will occur when access times are updated, regardless
if an explicit write is attempted.
