NAME

       srv, 9fs, dk232, dkmodem  - start network file service

SYNOPSIS

       srv [ -m ] [net!]system[!service] [ srvname [ mtpt ] ]

       9fs [net!]system [mountpoint]

       dk232 [server]

       dkmodem [telno]

DESCRIPTION

       Srv  dials the given machine and initializes the connection to serve the 9P protocol.  It then creates in /srv a file named srvname.  Users
       can then mount (see bind(1)) the service, typically on a name in /n, to access the files provided by the remote	machine.   If  srvname	is
       omitted, the first argument to srv is used.  Option m directs srv to mount the service on /n/system or onto mtpt if it is given.

       The  specified service must serve 9P.  Usually service can be omitted; when calling some non-Plan 9 systems, a service such as u9fs must be
       mentioned explicitly.

       The 9fs command does the srv and the mount necessary to make available the files of system on network net.  The files are mounted on mount-
       point, if given; otherwise they are mounted on /n/system.  If system contains characters, only the last element of system is used in the /n
       name.

       9fs recognizes some special names, such as dump to make the dump file system available on /n/dump.  9fs is an rc(1) script; examine  it	to
       see what local conventions apply.

       Dk232 configures a serial line as a Datakit device and connects to a file server (default bootes) using 9fs.

       Dkmodem dials a file server at telephone number telno and configures the line as a Datakit device using 9fs.

EXAMPLES

       To see kremvax's and deepthought's files in /n/kremvax and /n/deepthought:

	      9fs kremvax
	      9fs hhgttg/deepthought

NOTE

       The TCP port used for 9P is 564.

FILES

       /srv/* ports to file systems and servers posted by srv and 9fs
