Name
       mount, umount - mount or remove an NFS file system

Syntax
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/fs_types.h>

       mount(special, name, rwflag, type, options)
       char *special, *name;
       int rwflag, type;
       char *options;

       umount(dev)
       dev_t dev;

Description
       The system call announces to the system that a remote NFS file system has been mounted on directory name.  References to file name refer to
       the root file on the newly mounted file system.

       The special argument is a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the pathname of the file system being mounted. It is of the form:
       host:pathname
       The name argument is a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the pathname of the root file on the newly mounted file system.   The
       name must already exist and must be a directory.  Its old contents are inaccessible while the file system is mounted.

       The  rwflag  argument  is used to determine whether the file system can be written to; if it is 0, the file system is writable, if nonzero,
       the file system is write-protected.

       The type argument identifies the file system type that is being mounted.  The DEFINE statement for the nfs type is:
       #define GT_NFS	0x04
       The nfs file system type is defined in the <fs_types.h> file.

       The options argument specifies certain parameters that can be used to define how the file system is to be mounted.  The	description  lists
       the available NFS options.

       The following structure is used by the user-level routine as the fifth argument when making a system call.
       struct nfs_gfs_mount {
	      struct sockaddr_in addr;	 /* File server address /*
	      fhandle_t  fh;		 /* File handle to be mounted /*
	      int   flags;		 /* Flags handler /*
	      int   wsize;		 /* Write size in bytes /*
	      int   rsize;		 /* Read size in bytes /*
	      int   timeo;		 /* Initial timeout in .1 secs. /*
	      int   retrans;		 /* Times to retry send /*
	      char *hostname;		 /* Server's host name /*
	      char *optstr;		 /* Options string /*
	      int   gfs_flags;		 /* GFS flags /*
	      int   pg_thresh;		 /* Page threshold for exec /*
	   };

Return Values
       The system call returns a value of 0 upon successful completion of a operation, -1 if the operation fails.

       The  system  call announces to the system that the remote file system mounted on directory name is no longer available.	The directory name
       reverts to its ordinary interpretation.

       The system call returns 0 if the dismount operation succeeds, -1 if it fails.

Diagnostics
       The call fails under the following conditions:

       [EPERM]	      The caller is not the superuser and is not the owner of the mount point.

       [ENODEV]       A component of special does not exist.

       [EINVAL]       The pathname contains a character with the high-order bit set.

       [ENOTDIR]      A component of name is not a directory.

       [EBUSY]	      Another process currently holds a reference to name.

       [ENAMETOOLONG] A component of the pathname exceeded 255 characters, or the entire length of the pathname exceeded 1023 characters.

       [ELOOP]	      Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.

       [ENOENT]       A component of name does not exist.

       [EMFILE]       No space remains in the mount table.

       [EFAULT]       The special or name points outside the process's allocated address space space.

       [ESTALE]       The fhandle given in the argument was invalid.  The file referred to by that file  handle  no  longer  exists  or  has  been
		      revoked.

       The call fails under the following conditions:

       [EPERM]	      The caller is not the superuser and is not the owner of the mount point.

       [EINVAL]       The requested mounted-on directory is not in the mount table.

       [EBUSY]	      A process is holding a reference to a file located on the file system.

       [EIO]	      An I/O error occurred while writing cached file system information.
