HFS.UTIL(8)

NAME
hfs.util - helps mount, probe, and unmount hfs filesystems

SYNOPSIS
hfs.util [-m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4] device mount_point

hfs.util [-p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4] device

hfs.util [-aksu] device

DESCRIPTION
hfs.util helps to coordinate the mounting, probing, and unmounting of hfs filesystems. It essentially wraps mount(8) and it's ilk in one interface that is generic enough for the disk mounter to work with, so that the underlying mount commands do not have to fit into one mold. This allows us to more easily port mount commands without forcing us to reorder or redo the command itself or the disk mounter to understand each specific mount command.

Options:

-a  adopt permissions

-k  get UUID key

-m mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
    mount

-p mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4
    probe for mounting

-s  set UUID key

-u  unmount

mountflags above are either:

•   removable or fixed

•   readonly or writeable

•   suid or nosuid

•   dev or nodev
