.Sh NAME
.Nm vnconfig
.Nd configure and enable vnode disks
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm vnconfig
.Op Fl cdeuv
.Ar special_file Ar regular_file
.Oo Ar feature Oc
.Nm vnconfig
.Fl a
.Op Fl cdeuv
.Op Fl f Ar config_file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm vnconfig
command configures and enables vnode pseudo disk devices.
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 .
