 NAME     
 |  |  |  | 9import – import a name space from a remote system 
 | 
 SYNOPSIS     
 |  |  |  | 9import [ options ] system file [ mountpoint ] 
 | 
 DESCRIPTION     
 |  |  |  | The 9import tool allows an arbitrary file on a remote system,
    with the capability of running the Plan 9 exportfs(4) service,
    to be imported into the local name space. Usually file is a directory,
    so the complete file tree under the directory is made available.
    
    
    
    A process is started on the remote machine, with authority of
    the user of 9import, to perform work for the local machine using
    the exportfs(4) service. The default port used is TCP 17007. If
    mountpoint is omitted, then 9import uses the name of the remote
    file as the local mount point. 
    
    
    The options are: −A         Skip the authentication protocol. This is useful for connecting
    to foreign systems like Inferno.
 −k keypatternUse keypattern to select a key to authenticate to
    the remote side (see auth(2)).
 −p         Push the aan(8) filter onto the connection to protect against
    temporary network outages.
 −s name     Post the connection’s mountable file descriptor as /srv/name.
