MOUNT(2)            Xinu Programmer's Manual             MOUNT(2)



NAME
     mount - add a prefix mapping to the namespace

SYNOPSIS
     int mount(prefix, dev, replace)
     char *prefix;
     int dev;
     char *replace;

DESCRIPTION
     _M_o_u_n_t adds a prefix mapping to the syntactic namespace,
     inserting it just prior to the last entry.  Argument _p_r_e_f_i_x
     points to a string that contains a null-terminated prefix
     string, argument _d_e_v gives the device id of the device to
     which the prefix maps, and argument _r_e_p_l_a_c_e points to a
     null-terminated replacement string.  As a special case, _d_e_v
     can specify the value SYSERR to indicate that names matching
     the prefix cannot be mapped or accessed.

     If the namespace table is full, or if the specified prefix
     or replacement strings exceed the allowed size, _m_o_u_n_t
     returns SYSERR.  Otherwise it returns OK.
