NAME
| |
import – import 9P resources from another system
|
SYNOPSIS
| |
import [ −dfx ] [ −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.
The −x option reverses the roles of the two machines, exporting
the service to, instead of importing it from, the remote system.

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 &
