The first form of the command will associate the special file .Ar special_file with the regular file .Ar regular_file allowing the latter to be accessed as though it were a disk. Hence a regular file within the filesystem can be used for swapping or can contain a filesystem that is mounted in the name space. .Pp Options indicate an action to be performed: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl c Configures the device. If successful, references to .Ar special_file will access the contents of .Ar regular_file . .It Fl e Configures the device and enables any .Ar feature that was specified. If no feature was specified, .Fl e is the same as .Fl c . .It Fl d Disables (if possible) the specified feature. .It Fl u Disables and ``unconfigures'' the device. .It Fl v Print messages to stdout describing actions taken. .El .Pp If no action option is given, .Fl c is assumed. .Pp The .Ar feature argument specifies a feature that can be enabled via the .Fl e option: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Dv swap Swapping is enabled on the special file. See .Xr swapon 2 . .It Dv Pf mountro= Pa mount_point The special file is mounted read-only on .Ar mount_point . See .Xr mount 2 . .It Dv Pf mountrw= Pa mount_point The special file is mounted read-write on .Ar mount_point . See .Xr mount 2 . .It Dv Pf mount= Pa mount_point Same as ``mountrw=''. .El .Pp The second ( .Fl a ) form of the command reads a command file and performs the specified actions for each device/file pair. With .Fl f it reads the indicated configuration file .Ar config_file . Otherwise it uses a default configuration file. A configuration file contains one line per device/file pair in the form: .Bd -literal special_file regular_file [ feature ] .Ed .Pp where fields are seperated by white space. The previously described action options serve to configure, enable, disable or unconfigure all devices in the configuration file. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /etc/vntab -compact .It Pa /etc/vntab default configuration file for .Fl a option. .El .Sh EXAMPLES .Pp .Dl vnconfig /dev/vn0c /tmp/diskimage .Pp Configures the vnode disk .Pa vn0c . .Pp .Dl vnconfig -e /dev/vn0c /var/swapfile swap .Pp Configures .Pa vn0c and enables swapping on it. .Pp .Dl vnconfig -d /dev/vn0c myfilesystem mount=/mnt .Pp Unmounts (disables) .Pa vn0c . .Pp .Dl vnconfig -ae .Pp Configures and enables all devices specified in .Pa /etc/vntab . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mount 2 , .Xr swapon 2 , .Xr unmount 2 , .Xr vn 4 .
