NAME
p3nfsd - NFS-like daemon for Psion 3-series handhelds
SYNOPSIS
p3nfsd [-dir directory] [-user username] [-tty ser-dev] [-speed
baudrate] [-conn prog] [-disconn prog] [-wakeup] [-v] [-shell prog]
[-oldnfsc] [-series5] [-]
DESCRIPTION
p3nfsd lets you mount the Psion drives on your Unix workstation over a
serial cable. You can access all the files from the Psion with the
usual commands like tar, cp, vi and co.
FILES
/psion/mnt/* mounted files.
SEE ALSO
nfs(5), tar(1).
CAVEATS
Please close all open files before doing a backup, as the files are
opened exclusively by most programs (not nfsc.opl) and so they can’t be
read by anybody else.
p3nfsd runs as root since it uses the mount(2) system call.
RESTRICTIONS
p3nfsd is not really an NFS daemon. You can’t mount the Psion from
another workstation, only from the one, where it is attached to via the
serial cable. I used NFS, beause it is a portable way to capture
filesystem operations in a program. The daemon talks to the OPL or C
program on the Psion through a simple protocol.
