| NAME
| vacfs – a Venti-based file system
SYNOPSIS
| `vacfs` [ `−dip` ] [ `−h` host ] [ `−m` mtpt ] [ `−s` srvname ] [ `−M` mem ] vacfile
DESCRIPTION
| Vacfs interprets the file system created by vac(1) so that it can be mounted into a Plan 9 file hierarchy. The data for the file system is stored on a Venti server with a root fingerprint specified in vacfile. Vacfs is currently rather limited: access is read-only, clients are not authenticated, and groups are assumed to contain a single member with the same name. These restrictions should eventually be removed.
Options to vacfs are: `−d` Print debugging information to standard error. `−h` host
| The network address of the Venti server. The default is taken from the environment variable `venti`. If this variable does not exist, then the default is the metaname `$venti`.
`−i` Use file descriptors 0 and 1 as the 9P communication channel rather than create a pipe. `−m` mtpt
| The location to mount the file system. The default is not to mount.
`−p` Disables permission checking. `−s` The name of the 9P service to post. The default is `vacfs.`name, where name is vacfile without any directory name or `.vac` extension. `−M` mem
| The amount of memory, in bytes, allocated to the block cache. The default is 16M.
