NAME
     mount_pcfs - mount pcfs file systems

SYNOPSIS
     mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options]
     special | mount_point

     mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options]
     special mount_point

DESCRIPTION
     mount attaches an  MS-DOS file system  (pcfs)  to  the  file
     system  hierarchy  at the mount_point, which is the pathname
     of a directory. If mount_point has any contents prior to the
     mount  operation,  these are hidden until the file system is
     unmounted.

     If  mount is invoked with  special or   mount_point  as  the
     only  arguments,   mount will search  /etc/vfstab to fill in
     the    missing    arguments,    including    the     FSType-
     specific_options; see mount(1M) for more details.

     The  special argument can be one of two special device  file
     types:

       o  A   floppy   disk,   such    as    /dev/diskette0    or
          /dev/diskette1.

       o  A DOS  logical  drive  on  a  hard  disk  expressed  as
          device-name:logical-drive , where device-name specifies
          the special block device-file for the  whole  disk  and
          logical-drive is either a drive letter (c through z) or
          a  drive  number   (1   through   24).   Examples   are
          /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c and /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1.


     The  special device file type must have a  formatted  MS-DOS
     file  system  with  either  a 12-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit File
     Allocation Table.

System Administration Commands                     mount_pcfs(1M)



         foldcase | nofoldcase

             Force uppercase characters in filenames to lowercase
             when  reading  them from the filesystem. This is for
             compatibility with the previous behavior  of   pcfs.
             The default is  nofoldcase.



         hidden | nohidden

             Allow or disallow listing of files  with  hidden  or
             system  bits  set.  Option  hidden  is default. When
             nohidden is used then hidden and  system  files  are
             neither  visible nor accesible. Note that older pcfs
             used nohidden option as default.





FILES
     /etc/mnttab     table of mounted file systems



     /etc/vfstab     list of default  parameters  for  each  file
                     system

NOTES
     If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted  is
     a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory
     to which the symbolic link refers, rather than on top of the
     symbolic link itself.
