9SRVFS(4)9SRVFS(4)NAME9srvfs - add Inferno service to Plan 9 service registry
SYNOPSIS9srvfs [ -p perm ] srvname source
DESCRIPTION9srvfs is only usable (or indeed of interest) on Inferno hosted under
Plan 9. It uses srv9(3) to make an Inferno service source available to
Plan 9 applications via the Plan 9 service registry. Srv9 (3) must
previously have been bound to /srv in the current name space, with -c
to allow file creation (see bind(1)).
Source may be either a command or the name of a directory. If source
is surrounded by braces ({ and }), it is invoked as a sh(1) command,
and its standard input (sic) is posted as Plan 9 service /srv/srvname
with permissions perm (default: mode 600). Otherwise, source is taken
to be a directory that is the root of a name space to export to Plan 9,
an exporting file service is started (see sys-export(2)), and again
posted as Plan 9 service /srv/srvname, and the export terminates when
the Plan 9 service file has been removed and the last mounted instance
goes away in Plan 9.
EXAMPLE
Make the current Inferno environment variables available to Plan 9
applications:
bind -c '#₪' /srv # if not already done
9srvfs infenv /env
The name space can then be mounted in Plan 9, allowing variables to be
read and written in that Inferno environment:
mount -c /srv/infenv /n/ftp
ls /n/ftp
cat /n/ftp/emuargs
echo masked man >/n/ftp/zorro
