SYNOPSIS

disk/ksync
DESCRIPTION
Kfs is a local user-level file server for a Plan 9 terminal with a disk. Kfscmd transmits commands to the kfs server (see kfs(4)). The -n
option changes the name of the kfs service to kfs.name (by default, full name is just kfs).
Ksync executes the sync command for all active kfs servers.
The known commands are described below. Note that some commands are multiple words and should be quoted to appear as a single argument to
rc(1).
