NAME

       uml_mount — allows to mount UMLFS file system using the fuse libraries

SYNOPSIS

       uml_mount [mount-point]  [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the uml_mount command.

       This  command  uses  the  FUSE (File system in USErspace) libraries and
       invokes the FUSE_MOUNT function which expects a mount  point  and  some
       parameters as arguments.

       This  manual  page  was  written  for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
       because the original program  does  not  have  a  manual  page.  For  a
       practical example, please refer to the link below.

       uml_mount is used to mount UMLFS file system.
