NAME
       archfs - mount a mkfs archive

SYNOPSIS
       archfs [ -ab ] [ -s ] [ -m mountpoint ] archfile [ prefix ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Archfs mounts at mountpoint (default: /mnt/arch), a read-only file sys‐
       tem representing the contents of archfile, which is a file of the  for‐
       mat produced by mkfs(8) with the -a option.  Typically the archive file
       will have been created by mkfs(8) or create(8).	Any prefix names limit
       the  file  system's  contents  to  files and directories in the archive
       whose path names start with one of the prefixes.

       The -a and -b options cause the archive contents to be mounted after or
       before  the  mount  point's existing contents, in a union dirctory (see
       bind(1) for details).  Normally the archive contents replace  the  con‐
       tents  of  mountpoint.  The -s option causes the rest of the archive to
       be skipped once a file is found in the archive  which  does  not	 start
       with  any  of the given prefixes. This is useful an archive is known to
       start with a description of its contents (eg, the /wrap directory  pro‐
       vided by create(8)), and that is all that is needed under mountpoint.
