NAME
mount_hfs —
mount an Apple HFS+ File
System
SYNOPSIS
mount_hfs |
[-o
options] special
node |
DESCRIPTION
The
mount_hfs command attaches the Apple HFS+ File System on
the
special device on to the file system tree at point
node. Both
special and
node are converted to absolute paths before use.
This command is normally executed by
mount(8) at boot time. The
options are as follows:
-
-
- -o
- Options are specified with a -o flag
followed by a comma separated string of options. See the
mount(8) man page for
possible options and their meanings.
NOTES
Apple disk images (
.dmg files) and hybrid CD-ROMs contain
multiple partitions with an HFS+ file system on one of them. Use
apmlabel(8) to enter it into
the disklabel and mount the resulting partition.

BUGS
HFS+ support is still experimental. Currently, no write support is present.
Also, Unicode decomposition is not performed on file names prior to
lookup.
