.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm mount_autofs
.Nd mount automounter filesystem
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl f Ar from
.Op Fl O Ar master_options
.Op Fl o Ar options
.Op Fl p Ar master_prefix
.Ar autofs
.Ar mount_point
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command should not usually be called by admins.
Use
.Xr automount 8
instead.
.Xr autofs 5
is mountable using
.Xr automount 8 ,
which incorporates an
.Xr auto_master 5
parser, without having to specify
.Xr autofs 5
mount options via command line.
.\" and that was the original intention of FreeBSD/autofs.
.\" This is a low level version without auto_master(5) involved.
.Pp
The
.Nm
command attaches the automounter filesystem on the
.Ar autofs
device on to the file system tree at point
.Ar mount_point .
Both
.Ar autofs
and
.Ar mount_point
are converted to absolute paths before use.
.Pp
This command is normally executed by
.Xr automount 8 .
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl f
Set the
.Ar from
location for
.Xr autofs 5 .
This argument is usually read from
.Pa /etc/auto_master
by
.Xr automount 8 .
.It Fl o
Set the mount options.
See the
.Xr mount 8
man page for possible options and their meanings.
.It Fl O
Set the
.Xr autofs 5
options.
See the
.Op Fl Ar options
in

prefix, below which the file system(s) will be mounted.
