.Nm mount_portal

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm mount_portal
|
|
command attaches an instance of the portal daemon
|
|
to the global filesystem namespace.
|
|
The conventional mount point is
|
|
.Pa /p .
|
|
.PA /dev .
|
|
This command is normally executed by
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
at boot time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Options are specified with a
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
man page for possible options and their meanings.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The portal daemon provides an
|
|
.Em open
|
|
service.
|
|
Objects opened under the portal mount point are
|
|
dynamically created by the portal daemon according
|
|
to rules specified in the named configuration file.
|
|
Using this mechanism allows descriptors such as sockets
|
|
to be made available in the filesystem namespace.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The portal daemon works by being passed the full pathname
|
|
of the object being opened.
|
|
The daemon creates an appropriate descriptor according
|
|
to the rules in the configuration file, and then passes the descriptor back
|
|
to the calling process as the result of the open system call.
|
|
.Sh NAMESPACE
|
|
By convention, the portal daemon divides the namespace into sub-namespaces,
|
|
each of which handles objects of a particular type.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently, two sub-namespaces are implemented:
|
|
.Pa tcp
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa fs .
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa tcp
|
|
namespace takes a hostname and a port (slash separated) and
|
|
creates an open TCP/IP connection.
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa fs
|
|
namespace opens the named file, starting back at the root directory.
|
|
This can be used to provide a controlled escape path from
|
|
a chrooted environment.
|
|
.Sh "CONFIGURATION FILE"
|
|
The configuration file contains a list of rules.
|
|
Each rule takes one line and consists of two or more
|
|
whitespace separated fields.
|
|
A hash (``#'') character causes the remainder of a line to
|
|
be ignored. Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first field is a pathname prefix to match
|
|
against the requested pathname.
|
|
If a match is found, the second field
|
|
tells the daemon what type of object to create.
|
|
Subsequent fields are passed to the creation function.
