DESCRIPTION
The

command attaches the Apple HFS+ File System on the

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

files) and hybrid CD-ROMs contain multiple partitions with an HFS+
file system on one of them.
Use

to enter it into the disklabel and mount the resulting partition.
