mount_ifs

Mount an image filesystem (QNX)

Syntax:

mount_ifs  [-bT] [-C size] -f filename -m mountpoint [-v[v]...]

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

-b: Daemonize and return before the transfer of the data. By default mount_ifs daemonizes itself after.
-C size: The buffer/chunk size. The default is 64 KB.
-f filename: The name of the file containing an image filesystem.
-m mountpoint: Where the device is to be mounted on your system.
-T: Create a second thread to handle the decompression in parallel. You need to use this only if you have a compressed IFS image.
-v[v]...: Be verbose; more v characters cause more verbosity.

Description:

The mount_ifs utility mounts an image filesystem at the specified mountpoint, decompressing the filesystem if it's compressed. It's similar to using mount with the -t ifs option, but it uses direct I/O (if supported) to load the IFS image from a block device into memory, and then mounts the IFS. The utility allocates the memory and daemonizes itself, and supports the same compression algorithms as mkifs.

This utility supports image filesystems that are formatted as ELF or binary, but not as SREC.
