rust-9p
=====
Tokio-based asynchronous filesystems library using 9P2000.L protocol, an extended variant of 9P from Plan 9.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pfpacket/rust-9p.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/pfpacket/rust-9p)
[Documentation](https://pfpacket.github.io/rust-9p/rs9p/index.html)
## Build
Use Rust nightly.
## Usage
Add the following to your crate:
```rust
extern crate rs9p;
```
## unpfs
`unpfs` is the reference implementation of a file server which exports your filesystem.
You can build unpfs with the following commands below:
```bash
cd example/unpfs/
cargo build --verbose --release
```
and run unpfs with the following command to export `/exportdir`:
```bash
# TCP
cargo run --release 'tcp!0.0.0.0!564' /exportdir
# or
./target/release/unpfs 'tcp!0.0.0.0!564' /exportdir
# Unix domain socket:
# port number is a suffix to the unix domain socket
# 'unix!/tmp/unpfs-socket!n' creates `/tmp/unpfs-socket:n`
cargo run --release 'unix!/tmp/unpfs-socket!0' /exportdir
```
You are now ready to import/mount the remote filesystem.
Let's mount it at `/mountdir`:
```bash
# TCP
sudo mount -t 9p -o version=9p2000.L,trans=tcp,port=564,uname=$USER 127.0.0.1 /mountdir
# Unix domain socket
sudo mount -t 9p -o version=9p2000.L,trans=unix,uname=$USER /tmp/unpfs-socket:0 /mountdir
```
| Mount option | Value |
|---|---|
| version | must be "9p2000.L" |
| trans | an alternative v9fs transport. "tcp" or "unix" |
| port | port to connect to on the remote server |
| uname | user name to attempt mount as on the remote server |
