.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
.nf
|
||
.B bind -a '#σ/share' /dev
|
||
|
||
.BI #σ/ share1
|

.BI #σc/ share1/service1

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
The
|
||
.I shr
|
||
device provides global mountpoints in the form of share directories
|
||
where 9p services can be mounted and unmounted dynamically.
|
||
|
||
Effectively, it is a global mountpoint registry that is separate from
|
||
private namespaces.
|
||
.PP
|
||
The
|
||
.I shr
|
||
device exports a mount tree and a control tree. The directories
|
||
in the mount tree
|
||
.BI #σ
|
||
are the share mountpoints themselve and in the control tree
|
||
.BI #σc
|
||
share directories can be created or removed.
|
||
.PP
|
||
To create a new share, create the directory
|
||
.B #σc/myshare
|
||
|
||
To mount a service in that share, create the file
|
||
.B #σc/myshare/myserv
|
||
and then write a text string (suitable for
|
||
.IR strtoul ;
|
||
see
|
||
.IR atof (2))
|
||
giving the file descriptor number of an open 9p service. Any process
|
||
with the proper permission may then access
|
||
.B #σ/myshare
|
||
to use the service.
|
||
.PP
|
||
Multiple services can be mounted under a share. New services get
|
||
mounted before old ones. Removing the service file from a share
|
||
removes the service as soon as the last reference goes away.
