Command: mount

Syntax

mount <file> {, <file> ... }

Description

Mount one or more application libraries.

Parameters

• <file>
  The application library to be mounted. This is usually a .mxa file created by the external utility program applib.

Switches

• -os=<ident>
  Record the application (product) name of the application library into a string identifier. If <ident> does not exist a local string identifier it will be created. Multiple mounts will record the names into elements of a string array.

• -q
  Do not print a confirmation message if successful or error message on failure.

Notes

Application libraries are mounted beneath the application mount pseudo-directory. This may be referenced by the file path name prefix @.

An application library can be unmounted by the unmount command.

Examples

Mount application library test.mxa, then initialize it.

mount test.mxa
exec @test/start

Mount an application library and start it without knowing its product name.

mount myapp.mxa,-os=name
exec @^(name)/start
