TAPEFS(4)		   Kernel Interfaces Manual		     TAPEFS(4)

NAME
       32vfs,  cpiofs, tapfs, tarfs, tpfs, v6fs, v10fs,	zipfs -	mount archival
       file systems

SYNOPSIS
       fs/32vfs	[ -b blocksize ] [ -m mountpoint ] [ -p	passwd ] [ -g group  ]
       file
       fs/cpiofs
       fs/tapfs
       fs/tarfs
       fs/tpfs
       fs/v6fs
       fs/v10fs
       fs/zipfs

DESCRIPTION
       These commands interpret	data from traditional tape or file system for-
       mats stored in file, and	mount their contents (read-only) into a	Plan 9
       file system.  The optional -p and -g flags specify Unix-format password
       (respectively  group)  files  that give the mapping between the numeric
       user- and group-ID numbers on the media and  the	 strings  reported  by
       Plan  9 status inquiries.  The -m flag introduces the name at which the
       new file	system should be attached; the default is /n/tapefs.

       32vfs interprets	raw disk images	of 32V systems,	which are ca. 1978 re-
       search Unix systems for the VAX (512 byte block size, the default), and
       also pre-FFS Berkeley VAX systems (1KB block size).

       Cpiofs interprets cpio tape images (constructed with cpio's c flag).

       Tarfs interprets	tar tape images.

       Tpfs interprets tp tapes	from the Fifth	through	 Seventh  Edition  re-
       search Unix systems.

       Tapfs interprets	tap tapes from the pre-Fifth Edition era.

       V6fs  interprets	 disk images from the Fifth and	Sixth edition research
       Unix systems (512B block	size).

       V10fs interprets	disk images from the Tenth Edition research Unix  sys-
       tems (4KB block size).

       Zipfs interprets	zip archives (see gzip((1))).

SOURCE
       These  commands	are  constructed in a highly stereotyped way using the
       files fs.c and util.c in	/src/cmd/tapefs, which in turn derive substan-
       tially from ramfs((4)).

SEE ALSO
       intro((7)), ramfs((4)).
