9pserve \- announce and multiplex 9P service

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B 9pserve

||

|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
On Plan 9, when a user-level file server mounts itself into a name space
|
||
|
|
or posts itself in
|
||
|
|
.BR /srv ,
|
||
|
|
the Plan 9 kernel multiplexes the potentially many processes
|
||
|
|
accessing the server into a single 9P conversation.
|
||
|
|
The user-level server need not concern itself with how many
|
||
|
|
processes are accessing it or with cleaning up after a process when it
|
||
|
|
exits unexpectedly.
|
||
|
|
On Unix,
|
||
|
|
.I 9pserve
|
||
|
|
takes the place of the Plan 9 kernel, multiplexing clients onto
|
||
|
|
a single server conversation and cleaning up after clients when
|
||
|
|
they hang up unexpectedly.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I 9pserve
|
||
|
|
announces a 9P service on
|
||
|
|
.I addr
|
||
|
|
and multiplexes any 9P clients connecting to
|
||
|
|
.I addr
|
||
|
|
into a single conversation with a 9P server on
|
||
|
|
.IR 9pserve 's
|
||
|
|
standard input and output.
|
||
|
|
When a client hangs up,
|
||
|
|
.I 9pserve
|
||
|
|
flushes any outstanding 9P transactions
|
||
|
|
and clunks any outstanding fids belonging to the client.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I 9pserve
|
||
|
|
is typically not invoked directly; use
|
||
|
|
.IR post9pservice (3)
|
||
|
|
instead.
