  vmount(1)                           CLIX                           vmount(1)



  NAME

    vmount, xvmount - Runs visual interface to file system mounting utilities

  SYNOPSIS

    vmount [-C] [-u] [-l directory]

    vmount [-C] [-N] [-n nodename] [-h hostdir] [-l directory] [-eo]

    vmount [-C] [-L] [-d device] [-l localdir] [-f type] [-o]

    xvmount [-C] [-u] [-l directory]

    xvmount [-C] [-N] [-n nodename] [-h hostdir] [-l directory] [-eo]

    xvmount [-C] [-L] [-d device] [-l localdir] [-f type] [-o]

  FLAGS

    -C            Starts the interface as a collapsed icon on the screen.  (To
                  see the interface, click on the icon.)

    -u            Displays the Unmount mode on the form.

    -N            Displays the Mount NFS mode on the form.  This is the
                  default.

    -L            Displays the Mount local mode on the form.

    -n nodename   Sets the default remote hostname.  If this flag is not used,
                  no default nodename is set.

    -h hostdir    Sets the default host directory.  If this flag is not used,
                  no default host directory is set.

    -l localdir   Sets the default local directory.  If this flag is not used,
                  no default local directory is created.

    -d device     Sets the default device.  If this flag is not used, no
                  default device is set.

    -f type       Sets the default file system type.  The two possible values
                  are FFS and S51K.  The default file system type is FFS.

    -e            Unsets the error option.

    -o            Unsets the read-only option.

  vmount(1)                           CLIX                           vmount(1)



    The vmount and xvmount commands run visual interfaces to the mount
    command, allowing the user to enter the information needed to mount or
    unmount a file system in a simpler manner.

    Use the vmount command on Environ V-based window systems.  Use xvmount on
    X Window-based window systems.

    Help is available within vmount, and is accessed by clicking on the help
    button with the mouse.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To start the interface, enter the vmount command without any flags.

        vmount


    2.  This example starts the interface and makes it ready to unmount a file
        system.

        vmount -u


    3.  This example starts the interface and makes it ready to perform an NFS
        mount of a file system from the remote node odie.

        vmount -N -u odie


    4.  This example starts the interface in the local mount state.  The
        default local directory is set to /my_dev and the default file system
        type is set to S51K.

        vmount -L -l /my_dev -f S51K


  NOTES

    Because of graphics requirements, vmount is available only on Intergraph
    graphic workstations.

    The FORMS_S product is required to run vmount.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    If all of the information needed for mounting or unmounting a file system
    is not provided, an error message is displayed in the message box and asks
    that the missing information be specified.

    Any errors encountered by the mount or umount commands are displayed in
    the message box.
