MOUNT_HFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      MOUNT_HFS(8)

NAME

     mount_hfs -- mount an Apple HFS+ File System

SYNOPSIS

     mount_hfs [-o options] special node

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_hfs command attaches the Apple HFS+ File System on the special device on to the file system tree at point node.	Both special and
     node are converted to absolute paths before use.

     This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.  The options are as follows:

     -o      Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options.  See the mount(8) man page for possible options
	     and their meanings.

NOTES

     Apple disk images (.dmg files) and hybrid CD-ROMs contain multiple partitions with an HFS+ file system on one of them.  Use apmlabel(8) to
     enter it into the disklabel and mount the resulting partition.

SEE ALSO

     mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), apmlabel(8), mount(8)

HISTORY

     The mount_hfs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     mount_hfs was developed by Yevgeny Binder <yevbee@comcast.net> during the 2005 Google Summer of Code.  It was improved and imported into
     NetBSD by Dieter Baron <dillo@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     HFS+ support is still experimental.  Currently, no write support is present.  Also, Unicode decomposition is not performed on file names
     prior to lookup.
