change directory on an HFS+ volume

## NAME

hpmount — change directory on an HFS+ volume

## SYNOPSIS

**hpmount** \[**-r**\]  \[**-p***n*\]  *source-path*

## Description

**hpmount** introduces a new HFS+ volume.  The  source path may specify a block device or a regular file  containing an HFS+ volume image.  Furthermore,  **hpmount** creates the file  **.hfsplusvolume** in the user's home  directory, where the source path and the catalogue ID of the  current working directory are stored.

**hpmount** accepts the following options:

- **-r**

  mount the volume read-only.  The default is to allow  write-access.

- **-p***n*

  mount partition number **n**.  The  default is to mount the first partition that looks like it  contains an HFS+ volume.
