NAME
 mount_hfs — mount an Apple HFS+ File System
SYNOPSIS
| mount_hfs | [-o options] special node | 
 
DESCRIPTION
 The 
mount_hfs command attaches the Apple HFS+ File System on the 
special device on to the file system tree at point 
node. Both 
special and 
node are converted to absolute paths before use.
This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time. The options are as follows:
- 
-o
- 
Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings.
 
NOTES
 Apple disk images (
.dmg files) and hybrid CD-ROMs contain multiple partitions with an HFS+ file system on one of them. Use 
apmlabel(8) to enter it into the disklabel and mount the resulting partition.
 
HISTORY
 The mount_hfs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
AUTHORS
 mount_hfs was developed by

BUGS
 HFS+ support is still experimental. Currently, no write support is present. Also, Unicode decomposition is not performed on file names prior to lookup.
