mount_msdos —
| mount_msdos | [ -9GlsU] [-ggid] [-Mmask] [-mmask] [-ooptions] [-tgmtoff] [-uuid] special
      node | 
mount_msdos command attaches the MS-DOS file system
  residing on the device special to the global file
  system namespace at the location indicated by node.
  Both special and node are
  converted to absolute paths before use. This command is normally executed by
  mount(8) at boot time, but can be
  used by any user to mount an MS-DOS file system on any directory that they own
  (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that
  contains the file system).
Support for FAT16 and VFAT32 as well as long file names is available.
The options are as follows:
-9-s.-G-s.-g
    gid-lIf neither -s nor
        -l are given,
        mount_msdos searches the root directory of the
        file system to be mounted for any existing Win'95 long filenames. If the
        file system is not empty and no such entries are found,
        -s is the default. Otherwise
        -l is assumed.
-U-U flag interprets UNIX filenames as
      UTF-8 and generates correctly encoded long filenames. This forces
      -l.-M
    mask-m is used if it is supplied and
      -M is omitted.-m
    mask755 specifies that, by default,
      the owner should have read, write, and execute permissions for files, but
      others should only have read and execute permissions. See
      chmod(1) for more information
      about octal file modes.) Only the nine low-order bits of
      mask are used. The value of
      -M is used if it is supplied and
      -m is omitted. The default mask is taken from the
      directory on which the file system is being mounted.-o
    options-s-l.-t
    gmtoff-u
    uidmount_msdos utility named
  mount_pcfs appeared in NetBSD
  0.8. It was abandoned in favour of the more aptly-named
  mount_msdos in NetBSD 0.9 and
  rewritten entirely by NetBSD 1.0.
mount_pcfs was written by
  Paul Popelka
  <paulp@uts.amdahl.com>.
  It was rewritten by Christopher G. Demetriou
  <cgd@NetBSD.org>.
The use of the -9 flag could result in
    damaged file systems, albeit the damage is in part taken care of by
    procedures similar to the ones used in Win'95.
