Network File System

NFS

The NFS client services provides a rich API for manipulating a mounted remote file system. With the NFS client, the embedded system can use a workstation's disk drive as if it were its own, reading parameter files and reading and writing data directly to the workstation's disk.

All necessary file system primitives are implemented. If the EBS ERTFS local file system is in use, a layer is provided to transparently route requests to either NFS or ERTFS.

A comprehensive manual is supplied as well as an interactive command shell which lets the user mount and manipulate remote file systems.

The command shell also provides documented sample code for using the NFS package.
