NAMESPACE(6)NAMESPACE(6)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 or addns subroutines (see
auth(2)) which is typically called by init(8). Each line specifies one
name space operation. Spaces and tabs separate arguments to opera‐
tions; 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 [-abcC] servename old [spec]
Mount servename on old.
bind [-abcC] new old
Bind new on old.
import [-abc] host "[remotepath]mountpoint
Import remotepath from machine server and attach it to mount‐
point.
cd dir Change the working directory to dir.
unmount [new] old
Unmount new from old, or everything mounted on old if new is
missing.
clear Clear the name space with rfork(RFCNAMEG).
. path Execute the namespace file path. Note that path must be present
in the name space being built.
The options for bind, mount, and import are interpreted as in bind(1)
and import(4).
