IMPORT(4) IMPORT(4) +

+
+

NAME
+ +
+ + import – import 9P resources from another system
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + import [ −df ] [ −n ns ] [ −p prog ] [ −s service ] system
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Import presents the 9P service service (default plumb) running + on system as a service on the local system, in the current name + space. +
+ + The −n option sets the remote name space directory where import + should expect to find service. If it is not specified, import + uses name of the local system’s name space directory. (Since name + space directories are conventionally inside /tmp, the path have + different meanings on the two systems.) +
+ + Import connects to system using ssh(1). It invokes import on the + remote system to carry out the remote side of the protocol. The + −p option specifies the path to import on the remote system, in + case it is not in the system search path. +
+ + The −d option turns on debugging. The −f option keeps import from + forking itself into the background, also useful for debugging.
+ +
+

EXAMPLE
+ +
+ + Suppose you run sam −r to the CPU server anna. Sam wants to talk + to a plumber on the local terminal, but the file names will refer + to files on anna. +
+ + To fix this problem, create a new name space directory and start + a new plumber on anna:
+ +
+ + remotens=/tmp/ns.`whoami`.on.`hostname` + ssh anna mkdir $remotens + ssh anna NAMESPACE=$remotens plumber +Now import that plumber to the local name space before starting + sam and 9term:
+ NAMESPACE=/tmp/ns.anna + mkdir $NAMESPACE + import −n $remotens −s plumb anna + sam & + 9term ssh anna & + +
