# parrot\_mount(1)

mount new directories inside of a Parrot instance.

## NAME

**parrot\_mount** - mount new directories inside of a Parrot instance.

## SYNOPSIS

FCparrot\_mount *\<path\>* *\<destination\>* *\<permissions\>*FT

## DESCRIPTION

FCparrot\_mountFT utilizes **Parrot** system calls to change the namespace of the parrot filesystem while it is running.  New mount points can be added with read, write, or execute permissions, and existing mount points can be removed.  The namespace can be locked down with the FC--disableFT option, which prevents any further changes in the current session.

- **--unmount=*\<path\>***

   Unmount a previously mounted path.

- **--disable**

   Disable any further mounting/unmounting in this parrot session.

## EXIT STATUS

On success, returns zero.  On failure, returns non-zero.

## EXAMPLES

Mount a remote Chirp filesystem as a read-only data directory:

```

```

-

  % parrot\_run bash % parrot\_mount /chirp/fs.somewhere.edu/data /data R

Umount the same directory:

```

```

-

  parrot\_mount --unmount /data
