            1 .TH 9IMPORT 4
            2 .SH NAME
            3 9import \- import a name space from a remote system
            4 .SH SYNOPSIS
            5 .B 9import
            6 [
            7 .I options
            8 ]
            9 .I system
           10 .I file
           11 [
           12 .I mountpoint
           13 ]
           14 .SH DESCRIPTION
           15 The
           16 .I 9import
           17 tool allows an arbitrary
           18 .I file
           19 on a remote
           20 .I system,
           21 with the capability of running the Plan 9
           22 .MR exportfs (4)
           23 service,
           24 to be imported into the local name space.
           25 Usually
           26 .I file
           27 is a directory, so the complete
           28 file tree under the directory is made available.
           29 .PP
           30 A process is started on the
           31 remote machine, with authority of the user of
           32 .IR 9import ,
           33 to perform work for the local machine using the
           34 .MR exportfs (4)
           35 service.
           36 The default port used is TCP 17007.
           37 If
           38 .I mountpoint
           39 is omitted, then
           40 .I 9import
           41 uses the name of the remote
           42 .I file
           43 as the local mount point.
           44 .PP
           45 The options are:
           46 .TF "-s namexxx"
           47 .PD
           48 .TP
           49 .B -A
           50 Skip the authentication protocol.
           51 This is useful for connecting to foreign systems like Inferno.
           52 .TP
           53 .B -k \fIkeypattern
           54 Use
           55 .I keypattern
           56 to select a key to authenticate to the remote side
           57 (see
           58 .MR auth (2) ).
           59 .TP
           60 .B -p
           61 Push the
           62 .MR aan (8)
           63 filter onto the connection to protect against
           64 temporary network outages.
           65 .TP
           66 .B -s \fIname
           67 Post the connection's mountable file descriptor as
           68 .BI /srv/ name\fR.
