     BFS(8)                                                     BFS(8)

     NAME
          bfs - Import Plan B file server

     SYNOPSIS
          bfs [ volname ]

     DESCRIPTION
          This script lists (when no argument is given) the set of
          known volumes that could be imported into the caller name
          space. This is similar to what 9fs(4) does on Plan 9. In
          Plan B, importing volumes is preferred because of the fail-
          over and the discovery properties.

          The listing consists is a series of calls to bfs that can be
          executed to perform the import.

          When given an argument, it imports the named volume into the
          name space.

     EXAMPLES
          This session lists the volumes known, and then imports all
          the user interface volumes:
               ; bfs
               bfs /
               bfs /dev/kbd
               bfs /dev/mouse
               bfs /devs/ui
               bfs /mnt/plumb
               bfs /usr
               bfs /what
               ; bfs /devs/ui
               ;
