uml_mount — allows to mount UMLFS file system using the
fuse libraries
uml_mount [mount-point] [options]
This manual page documents briefly the uml_mount
command.
This command uses the FUSE (File system in USErspace) libraries
and invokes the FUSE_MOUNT function which expects a mount point and some
parameters as arguments.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. For a
practical example, please refer to the link below.
