Blank lines are ignored. +.Pp +The first field is a pathname prefix to match +against the requested pathname. +If a match is found, the second field +tells the daemon what type of object to create. +Subsequent fields are passed to the creation function. +.Bd -literal +# @(#)portal.conf 5.1 (Berkeley) 7/13/92 +tcp/ tcp tcp/ +fs/ file fs/ +.Ed +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width /p/* -compact +.It Pa /p/* +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr mount 2 , +.Xr unmount 2 , +.Xr fstab 5 , +.Xr mount 8 +.Sh CAVEATS +This filesystem may not be NFS-exported. +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm mount_portal +utility first appeared in 4.4BSD. -- cgit v1.1
