36.Sh NAME
37.Nm mount_msdosfs
38.Nd mount an MS-DOS file system
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Nm
41.Op Fl 9ls
42.Op Fl D Ar DOS_codepage
43.Op Fl g Ar gid
44.Op Fl L Ar locale
45.Op Fl M Ar mask
46.Op Fl m Ar mask
47.Op Fl o Ar options
48.Op Fl u Ar uid
49.Op Fl W Ar table
50.Ar special node
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54utility attaches the MS-DOS file system residing on
55the device
56.Pa special
57to the global file system namespace at the location
58indicated by
59.Pa node .
60This command is normally executed by
61.Xr mount 8
62at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an
63MS-DOS file system on any directory that they own (provided,
64of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
65contains the file system).
66.Pp
67The options are as follows:
68.Bl -tag -width Ds
69.It Fl o Ar options
70Use the specified mount
71.Ar options ,
72as described in
73.Xr mount 8 .
74The following MSDOS file system-specific options are available:
75.Bl -tag -width indent
76.It Cm large
77Support file systems larger than 128 gigabytes at the expense
78of 32 bytes of kernel memory for each file on disk.
79This memory will not be reclaimed until the file system has
80been unmounted.
81.It Cm longnames
82Force Windows 95 long filenames to be visible.
83.It Cm shortnames
84Force only the old MS-DOS 8.3 style filenames to be visible.
85.It Cm nowin95
86Completely ignore Windows 95 extended file information.
87.El
88.It Fl u Ar uid
89Set the owner of the files in the file system to
90.Ar uid .
91The default owner is the owner of the directory
92on which the file system is being mounted.
93.It Fl g Ar gid
94Set the group of the files in the file system to
95.Ar gid .
96The default group is the group of the directory
97on which the file system is being mounted.
98.It Fl m Ar mask
99Specify the maximum file permissions for files
100in the file system.
101(For example, a
102.Ar mask
103of
104.Li 755
105specifies that, by default, the owner should have
106read, write, and execute permissions for files, but
107others should only have read and execute permissions.
108See
109.Xr chmod 1
110for more information about octal file modes.
111Only the nine low-order bits of
112.Ar mask
113are used.
114The value of
115.Ar -M
116is used if it is supplied and
117.Ar -m
118is omitted.
119The default
120.Ar mask
121is taken from the
122directory on which the file system is being mounted.
123.It Fl M Ar mask
124Specify the maximum file permissions for directories
125in the file system.
126The value of
127.Ar -m
128is used if it is supplied and
129.Ar -M
130is omitted.
131See the previous option's description for details.
132.It Fl s
133Force behaviour to
134ignore and not generate Win'95 long filenames.
135.It Fl l
136Force listing and generation of
137Win'95 long filenames
138and separate creation/modification/access dates.
139.Pp
140If neither
141.Fl s
142nor
143.Fl l
144are given,
145.Fl l
146is the default.
147.It Fl 9
148Ignore the special Win'95 directory entries even
149if deleting or renaming a file.
150This forces
151.Fl s .
152.\".It Fl G
153.\"This option causes the file system to be interpreted as an Atari-Gemdos
154.\"file system.
155.\"The differences to the MS-DOS file system are minimal and
156.\"limited to the boot block.
157.\"This option enforces
158.\".Fl s .
159.It Fl L Ar locale
160Specify locale name used for file name conversions
161for DOS and Win'95 names.
162By default ISO 8859-1 assumed as local character set.
163.It Fl D Ar DOS_codepage
164Specify the MS-DOS code page (aka IBM/OEM code page) name used for
165file name conversions for DOS names.
166.It Fl W Ar table
167.Bf Em
168This option is preserved for backward compatibility purpose only,
169and will be removed in the future.
170Please avoid using this option.
171.Ef
172.Pp
173Specify text file name with conversion table:
174.Pa iso22dos , iso72dos , koi2dos , koi8u2dos .
175.El
176.Sh EXAMPLES
177To mount a Russian MS-DOS file system located in
178.Pa /dev/ada1s1 :

195.Sh HISTORY
196The predecessor to
197.Nm mount_msdos
198utility named
199.Nm mount_pcfs
200appeared in
201.Bx 386 .
202It was rewritten in
203.Nx 1.0
204and first appeared in
205.Fx 2.0 .
206.Nm mount_msdos
207was renamed to the more aptly-named
208.Nm
209in
210.Fx 5.0.
211The character code conversion routine was added in 2003.
212.Sh AUTHORS
213Initial implementation as
214.Nm mount_pcfs
215was written by
216.An -nosplit
217.An Paul Popelka Aq Mt paulp@uts.amdahl.com .
218It was rewritten by
219.An Christopher G. Demetriou Aq Mt cgd@NetBSD.org .
220The character code conversion routine was added by
221.An Ryuichiro Imura Aq Mt imura@ryu16.org .
222.Sh CAVEATS
223The use of the
224.Fl 9
225flag could result in damaged file systems,
226albeit the damage is in part taken care of by
227procedures similar to the ones used in Win'95.
