.Sh NAME
.Nm mount_umap
.Nd sample file system layer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm mount_umap
.Op Fl o Ar options
.Fl u Ar uid-mapfile
.Fl g Ar gid-mapfile
.Ar target
.Ar mount-point
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command is used to mount a sub-tree of an existing file system
that uses a different set of uids and gids than the local system.
Such a file system could be mounted from a remote site via NFS or
it could be a file system on removable media brought from some
foreign location that uses a different password file.
.Pp
The
.Nm
command uses a set of files provided by the user to make correspondences
between uids and gids in the sub-tree's original environment and
some other set of ids in the local environment.  For instance, user
smith might have uid 1000 in the original environment, while having
uid 2000 in the local environment.  The
.Nm
command allows the subtree from smith's original environment to be
mapped in such a way that all files with owning uid 1000 look like
they are actually owned by uid 2000.  
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl o
Options are specified with a
.Fl o
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
See the
.Xr mount 8
man page for possible options and their meanings.
.It Ar target 
Should be the current location of the sub-tree in the
local system's name space.  
.It Ar mount-point 
Should be a directory
where the mapped subtree is to be placed.  
.It Fl u Ar uid-mapfile 
.It Fl g Ar gid-mapfile 
Describe the mappings to be made between identifiers.
Briefly, the format of these files is a count of the number of
mappings on the first line, with each subsequent line containing
a single mapping.  Each of these mappings consists of an id in
the local environment and the corresponding id from the original environment,
separated by white space.  
.Ar Uid-mapfile 
should contain all uid
mappings, and 
.Ar gid-mapfile 
should contain all gid mappings.
Any uids not mapped in 
.Ar uid-mapfile 
will be treated as user NOBODY,
and any gids not mapped in 
.Ar gid-mapfile 
will be treated as group
NULLGROUP.  At most 64 uids can be mapped for a given subtree, and
at most 16 groups can be mapped by a given subtree.
.El
.Pp
The mapfiles can be located anywhere in the file hierarchy, but they
must be owned by root, and they must be writable only by root.  
.Nm Mount_umap
will refuse to map the sub-tree if the ownership or permissions on
these files are improper.  It will also balk if the count of mappings
in the first line of the map files is not correct.
.Pp
The layer created by the
.Nm
command is meant to serve as a simple example of file system layering.
It is not meant for production use.  The implementation is not very
sophisticated.
