EXPORT(4)EXPORT(4)NAMEexport - export name space on a connection
SYNOPSISexport [ -a ] dir [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Export calls sys-export(2) to serve the name space rooted at dir over a
connection to a 9P (Styx) client. Export opens the connection on the
given file, or uses the standard input by default. It returns when the
client closes the connection. If the -a option is given, however,
export starts an Inferno kernel process to serve the name space and
returns immediately. Export serves the current name space without
forking it; changes made to it will be visible to clients.
Export starts serving 9P immediately; it assumes that the connection
has been authenticated if required. Export is typically called via
listen(1), which can authenticate the connection.
EXAMPLE
Start a background process to serve the name space on the serial port.
export / /dev/eia0 &
Although useful when bootstrapping a system, this is unsafe unless a
transport protocol is run on the connection.
