NAME

       import - import a name space from a remote system

SYNOPSIS

       import [ option ...  ] system file [ mountpoint ]

DESCRIPTION

       Import  allows an arbitrary file on a remote system to be imported into the local name space.  Usually file is a directory, so the complete
       file tree under the directory is made available.

       A process is started on the remote machine, with authority of the user of  import,  to  perform	work  for  the	local  machine	using  the
       exportfs(4) service.  If mountpoint is omitted import uses the name of the remote file as the local mount point.

       If file is a directory, import allows options exactly as in mount and bind(1) to control the construction of union directories.

EXAMPLE

       To allow a Datakit-only machine to access an Ethernet using TCP:

	      import -a kremvax /net
	      con tcp!ucbvax

       or

	      import -a kremvax /net
	      echo 'add tcp' > /net/cs
	      con ucbvax

NAME

       namespace - name space description file

DESCRIPTION

       Namespace  files describe how to construct a name space from scratch, an operation normally performed by the newns subroutine (see auth(2))
       which is typically called by init(8).  Each line specifies one name space operation.  Spaces and tabs separate arguments to operations;	no
       quotes or escapes are recognized.  Blank lines and lines with # as the first non-space character are ignored.  Environment variables of the
       form $name are expanded within arguments, where name is a UTF string terminated by white space, a /, or a $.

       The known operations and their arguments are:

       mount [-abc] servename old [spec]
	      Mount servename on old.

       bind [-abc]  new old
	      Bind new on old.

       import [-abc] host "[remotepath]mountpoint
	      Import remotepath from machine server and attach it to mountpoint.

       cd dir Change the working directory to dir.

       The options for bind, mount, and import are interpreted as in bind(1) and import(4).
