MNTGEN(4)                                               MNTGEN(4)

     NAME
          mntgen - dynamically generate mount points

     SYNOPSIS
          mount {mntgen} dir

     DESCRIPTION
          Mntgen serves a Styx connection on its standard input, pro-
          viding a name space containing a single directory that is
          initially empty, but in which a subdirectory name appears
          when is first referenced, and remains only as long as it is
          needed (referenced).  Mntgen is typically mounted on a
          directory dir using mount (see bind(1)) as above.  Dir is
          commonly /n or /mnt, to generate mount points on demand for
          file systems or services.
