NAME

SYNOPSIS

9p [ options ] write [ -l ] path
9p [ options ] writefd path

9p [ options ] stat path

9p [ options ] rdwr path

9p [ options ] ls [ -dl ] path...

DESCRIPTION

-a addr

dial the server at addr

-A aname

attach to the file system named aname

-n

mount without authentication

The first argument is a command, one of:

read

print the contents of path to standard output

write

write data on standard input to path; the -l option causes write to write one line at a time

readfd, writefd

like read and write but use openfd(9p) instead of open; this masks errors and is mainly useful for debugging the implementation of openfd

stat

execute stat (9p) on path and print the result

rdwr

Open path for reading and writing. Then repeat until end-of-file on standard input: copy a line from the file to standard output, copy a line from standard input to the file. Print errors, but don't give up. Rdwr is useful for interacting with servers like

ls

Print a directory listing in the format of The -d and -l flags have the same meaning as in ls.

9p dials address to connect to the 9P server. If the -a option is not given, 9p requires the path to be of the form service/subpath; it connects to the Unix domain socket service in the name space directory (see and then accesses subpath.

EXAMPLE

cat $HOME/lib/plumbing | 9p write plumb/rules
    

To display the contents of the current window:

9p read acme/$winid/body
