38 .Nd mount an MS-DOS file system
42 .Op Fl D Ar DOS_codepage
55 command attaches the MS-DOS filesystem residing on
58 to the global filesystem namespace at the location
61 This command is normally executed by
63 at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an
64 MS-DOS file system on any directory that they own (provided,
65 of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
66 contains the file system).
68 The options are as follows:
71 Use the specified mount
75 or one of the MS-DOS filesystem-specific options
80 all of which can be used to affect Windows name translation in the
81 underlying filesystem.
83 Set the owner of the files in the file system to
85 The default owner is the owner of the directory
86 on which the file system is being mounted.
88 Set the group of the files in the file system to
90 The default group is the group of the directory
91 on which the file system is being mounted.
93 Specify the maximum file permissions for files
99 specifies that, by default, the owner should have
100 read, write, and execute permissions for files, but
101 others should only have read and execute permissions.

130 Force listing and generation of

142 Ignore the special Win'95 directory entries even
143 if deleting or renaming a file.

195 larger than 1G, and also occur when filesystems larger than 1G are
