NAME

     mount - mount file system



SYNOPSIS

     (mount = 21.)

     sys  mount; special; name



DESCRIPTION

     Mount announces to the system that a removable  file  system

     has  been  mounted  on  the  block-structured  special  file

     special; from now on, references to file name will refer  to

     the root file on the newly mounted file system.  Special and

     name are pointers to null-terminated strings containing  the

     appropriate path names.



     Name must exist already. Its old contents  are  inaccessible

     while the file system is mounted.



SEE ALSO

     mount(I), umount(II)



DIAGNOSTICS

     Error bit (c-bit) set if: special is inaccessible or not  an

     appropriate  file;  name  does not exist; special is already

     mounted; there are already too many file systems mounted.
