     NAME
          mntgen - dynamically generate mount points

     SYNOPSIS
          mount {mntgen} dir

     DESCRIPTION
          Mntgen serves 9P on its standard input, providing a name
          space containing a single directory that is initially empty,
          but in which a subdirectory name appears when is first ref-
          erenced, and remains only as long as it is needed (refer-
          enced).  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.
