TRFS(4) TRFS(4)
NAME
trfs - translate spaces and other runes in names in a file
system
SYNOPSIS
trfs olddir mountdir
DESCRIPTION
Trfs makes the contents of directory olddir appear on the
directory mountdir, but every space character in file and
directory names viewed through mountdir is made visible as a
special `no-break space' character (U+00A0). Other Inferno
applications will not mistake it for the end of a file name,
and it has some visible representation in most fonts.

BUGS
There can be error or ambiguity if the existing tree also
uses no-break space in its names.
