 |  |  |  | 9p [ options ] read path 9p [ options ] readfd path 
    
    
    9p [ options ] write [ −l ] path
 9p [ options ] writefd path 
    
    
    9p [ options ] stat path

 DESCRIPTION     
 |  |  |  | 9p is a trivial 9P client that can access a single file on a 9P
    server. It can be useful for manual interaction with a 9P server
    or for accessing simple 9P services from within shell scripts.
    The common options are: −a addr
 −A aname
 
 −n    mount without authentication 
    
    
    The first argument is a command, one of:|  |  |  | attach to the file system named aname 
 | 
 read   print the contents of path to standard output
 writewrite data on standard input to path; the −l option causes
    write to write one line at a time
 readfd, writefd
 
 stat   execute stat (9p) on path and print the result|  |  |  | like read and write but use openfd(9p) instead of open; this masks
        errors and is mainly useful for debugging the implementation of
        openfd 
 | 
 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
    factotum(4).
 ls    Print a directory listing in the format of ls(1). 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 intro(4)) and then accesses subpath.
