MOUNT_AFP(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		  MOUNT_AFP(8)

NAME
     mount_afp — mount an afp (AppleShare) filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     mount_afp [-i] [-s] [-k] [-o options] afp_url node

DESCRIPTION
     The mount_afp command mounts the AFP volume denoted by the afp_url
     afp://[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]host[:port]/volumename at the
     mount point indicated by node.

     This command is normally executed by mount(8) when the -t afp option is
     used. If the -i option is not used, all the required information to
     establish a login to the remote server must be available in the afp URL,
     including username & password if needed.

     The arguments and options are:

     -i	     Interactive mode, you are prompted for the password if you did
	     not supply one in the url.

     -s	     Soft mount (default).  Network errors, e.g. timeouts, will be
	     retried for a much shorter amount of time.	 If the network errors
	     persist, then the mount will be force unmounted.

     -k	     Hard mount.  Network errors, e.g. timeouts, will be retried for
	     an extended amount of time.  If the network errors persist, then
	     the mount will be force unmounted.

     -o	     Options passed to mount(2) are specified with the -o option fol‐
	     lowed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8)
	     man page for possible options and their meanings. Additional
	     options supported by the AFP Client are as follows:

	     nobrowse
		     Indicate to the Carbon subsystem that this volume is not
		     to be displayed to the user.

	     automounted
		     Set flags on the mountpoint to indicate that the volume
		     has been mounted by the automounter.

     afp_url
	     There are two forms of afp URL, one for TCP/IP and one for
	     AppleTalk:

	     afp://[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]host[:port]/volume

	     afp:/at/[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]servername[:zone‐
	     name]/volume

	     Denotes the afp server and sharepoint to mount. It may also con‐
	     tain the username & password required to log into the server.
	     uamname is the protocol name of the authentication method.	 If
	     port is not specified, then port 548 is used.

     node    Path to mount point, which must be a directory that the user has
	     write permissions for.

EXAMPLES
     The following example illustrates how to mount the afp volume server.com‐
     pany.com/volumename/ at the mount point /Volumes/mntpnt:

	   mkdir /Volumes/mntpnt
	   mount_afp afp://username:userpass@server.company.com/volumename/ /Volumes/mntpnt

     This example shows the proper url to use to mount the volume guestVolume
     from the afp server myserver as guest (if no uam and no username, then
     use guest uam):

	   mkdir /Volumes/guest
	   mount_afp "afp://myserver/guestVolume" /Volumes/guest

     This example shows the proper url to use to mount the volume myVolume
     from the afp server myserver using Kerberos authentication:

	   mkdir /Volumes/myVolume
	   mount_afp "afp://;AUTH=Client%20Krb%20v2@myserver/myVolume" /Volumes/myVolume

     authentication was added in Mac OS X version 10.2

RETURN VALUES
     0			mount_afp successfully mounted the volume directory.

     [ENODEV (19)]	The server volume could not be mounted by mount_afp
			because the server was not found or because the share‐
			point does not exist, or because node does not have
			proper access.

     [EACCES (13)]	The volume could not be mounted by mount_afp because
			the user did not provide proper authentication creden‐
			tials.

     [ENOTDIR (20)]	The volume could not be mounted by mount_afp because
			the mountpoint was not a directory.
