NAME

       plpfuse - Daemon to mount an EPOC device as a file system

SYNOPSIS

       plpfuse [-V] [-d] [-h] [-p [HOST:]PORT] [LONG-OPTIONS] MOUNTPOINT

DESCRIPTION

       plpfuse is a file system which provides file system access to your EPOC device.  It mounts
       the EPOC device's file systems in your computer's file system.  Like the other front-ends,
       this program auto-reconnects after a link failure, so you can keep the EPOC device mounted
       all the time, even when it  is  not  connected.   Due  to  Rudolf  Koenig's  clever  error
       handling,  you  don't  need  to  worry  about  blocked  I/O  processes  if the psion isn't
       available.  You will simply get a "device not configured" error, when accessing a file  on
       a previously connected psion which has been disconnected. After that, the mount point will
       appear  with  the  drives  missing.  As  soon  as  the  psion  is  connected  again,   the
       subdirectories will reappear (possibly with a few seconds' delay).

       EPOC file attributes are mapped as follows: readable on the EPOC device is mapped to user-
       readable on UNIX; read-only is inverted and mapped to user-writable;  system,  hidden  and
       archived  are  mapped  to  the extended user attribute user.psion as the single characters
       `s', `h' and `a'. The extended attribute can therefore be up to three characters long.  An
       attempt to read or write any other extended attribute will give an error.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
              Display the version and exit

       -h, --help
              Display a short help text and exit.

       -d, --debug
              Produce debugging logs. Can be specified more than once to increase the debug level
              (up to 3 times).

       -p, --port=[host:]port
              Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. the port where ncpd is listening  on)
              -  by  default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the port is looked up in /etc/services. If
              it is not found there, a fall-back builtin of 7501.

BUGS

       Because UNIX file names are simply byte strings, if your  EPOC  device  uses  a  different
       character  set  from  the  computer to which it is connected, which is highly likely, then
       characters which are  differently  encoded  between  the  two  characters  sets  will  not
       translate  between  the  two  systems.  it  is usually safe to use 7-bit ASCII characters,
       avoiding colon (invalid on EPOC) and slash (invalid on UNIX). This problem may be fixed in
       future.
