Unless noted otherwise,

the calls in this section are permitted only to a privileged user.

Bootstrap operations

.PP

The call
|
|
.DS
|
|
mount(blkdev, dir, ronly);
|
|
char *blkdev, *dir; int ronly;
|
|
.DE
|
|
extends the UNIX name space. The \fImount\fP call specifies
|
|
a block device \fIblkdev\fP containing a UNIX file system
|
|
to be made available starting at \fIdir\fP. If \fIronly\fP is
|
|
set then the file system is read-only; writes to the file system
|
|
will not be permitted and access times will not be updated
|
|
when files are referenced.
|
|
\fIDir\fP is normally a name in the root directory.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The call
|
|
.DS
|
|
swapon(blkdev, size);
|
|
char *blkdev; int size;
|
|
.DE
|
|
specifies a device to be made available for paging and swapping.

The call
|
|
.DS
|
|
unmount(dir);
|
|
char *dir;
|
|
.DE
|
|
unmounts the file system mounted on \fIdir\fP.
|
|
This call will succeed only if the file system is
|
|
not currently being used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The call
|
|
.DS
|
|
sync();
|
|
.DE
|
|
schedules input/output to clean all system buffer caches.
|
|
(This call does not require privileged status.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
The call
|
|
.DS
|
|
reboot(how)
|
|
int how;
|
|
.DE
|
|
causes a machine halt or reboot. The call may request a reboot
|
|
by specifying \fIhow\fP as RB_AUTOBOOT, or that the machine be halted
|
|
with RB_HALT. These constants are defined in \fI<sys/reboot.h>\fP.
|

.NH 3
|
|
Accounting
|
|
.PP
|
|
The system optionally keeps an accounting record in a file
|
|
for each process that exits on the system.
|
|
The format of this record is beyond the scope of this document.
|
|
The accounting may be enabled to a file \fIname\fP by doing
|
|
.DS
|
|
acct(path);
|
|
char *path;
|
|
.DE
|
|
If \fIpath\fP is null, then accounting is disabled. Otherwise,
|
|
the named file becomes the accounting file.
