NAME

       mount, umount - mount or umount a file system

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <sys/mount.h>

       int mount(char *special, char *name, int flag)
       int umount(char *name)

DESCRIPTION

       Mount()	tells the system that the file system special is to be mounted on the file name, effectively overlaying name with the file tree on
       special.  Name may of any type, except that if the root of special is a directory, then name must also be a directory.  Special must  be  a
       block  special file, except for loopback mounts.  For loopback mounts a normal file or directory is used for special, which must be seen as
       the root of a virtual device.  Flag is 0 for a read-write mount, 1 for read-only.

       Umount() removes the connection between a device and a mount point, name may refer to either of them.  If more than one device  is  mounted
       on  the	same  mount  point  then unmounting at the mount point removes the last mounted device, unmounting a device removes precisely that
       device.	The unmount will only succeed if none of the files on the device are in use.

       Both calls may only be executed by the super-user.

NAME

       halevt-mount/halevt-umount - Mount or umount device through HAL

SYNOPSIS

       halevt-mount [options] [-w] mountpoint|device|udi

       halevt-mount [options] <-c | -r> <-a | mountpoint | device | udi>

       halevt-mount [options] <-l | -s>

       halevt-umount [options] < -a | mountpoint | device | udi>

DESCRIPTION

       halevt-mount  Mount  or	umount	device	through  HAL  and keep a track of devices handled.  When called as halevt-umount the default is to
       unmount, when called as halevt-mount the default is to mount.  Option -c, -l, -r, -s or -w changes  the	operation  performed.	Additional
       argument is considered to be a mount point, a device or an udi when unmounting or removing.

       If the commands are not called with -s after changes in the state of the devices (after mounting, unmounting, removing devices), the infor-
       mation available for halevt-mount and halevt-umount may become out of sync with the state of the system.

       When run as user halevt (or as root), no uid= argument is passed to HAL when mounting, otherwise this option is passed, if  the	filesystem
       allows it.

	      Use lock file and device information file in the directory directory (if they are not already specified).

       -l     List handled devices. Formatted with, on each line, udi:device:mountpoint.

       -p mountpoint
	      Use mountpoint mountpoint.

       -m umask
	      Set mount umask to umask if run as a system user, and the filesystem supports it.

       -n file
