NAME

       hcd - change working HFS directory

SYNOPSIS

       hcd [hfs-path]

DESCRIPTION

       hcd  is used to change the notion of the "current working directory" for the current HFS volume. All subsequent HFS commands will interpret
       filenames relative to this directory, unless absolute pathnames are used.

       If the argument pathname is omitted, hcd will change to the root of the current volume.

SEE ALSO

       hfsutils(1), hpwd(1), hls(1)

FILES

       $HOME/.hcwd

BUGS

       Although absolute pathnames can be given to hcd, the full pathname must match the current volume; it cannot specify a path for a  different
       volume. Use hvol or hmount to change the current volume. (Each volume has its own independent current working directory.)

NAME

       hmount - introduce a new HFS volume and make it current

SYNOPSIS

       hmount source-path [partition-no]

DESCRIPTION

       hmount is used to introduce a new HFS volume. A UNIX pathname to the volume's source must be specified. The source may be a block device or
       a regular file containing an HFS volume image.

       If the source medium is partitioned, one partition must be selected to be mounted. If there is only one HFS partition  on  the  medium,	it
       will  be  selected by default. Otherwise, the desired partition number must be specified (as the ordinal nth HFS partition) on the command-
       line. Partition number 0 can be specified to refer to the entire medium, ignoring what might otherwise be perceived  as	a  partition  map,
       although in practice this is probably only useful if you want this command to fail when the medium is partitioned.

       The  mounted  volume becomes "current" so subsequent commands will refer to it.	The current working directory for the volume is set to the
       root of the volume.  This information is kept in a file named .hcwd in the user's home directory.

       If the source medium is changed (e.g. floppy or CD-ROM disc exchanged) after hmount has been called,  subsequent  HFS  commands	will  fail
       until the original medium is replaced or a different volume is made current. To use the same source path with the different medium, reissue
       the hmount command.

EXAMPLES

       % hmount /dev/fd0
	      If a Macintosh floppy disk is available as /dev/fd0, this command makes the floppy current for other HFS commands  such  as  hls(1),
	      hcd(1), hcopy(1), etc.

       % hmount /dev/sd2 1
	      If  a  SCSI disk is available as /dev/sd2, this command finds the first HFS partition on the medium and makes it available for other
	      HFS operations.

NOTES

       hmount does not actually mount an HFS partition over a UNIX directory in the traditional mount(8) sense. It is merely a "virtual" mount, as
       a point of convenience for future HFS operations. Each HFS command independently opens, operates on, and closes the named source path given
       to hmount.
