OWFS(1)                      One-Wire File System                      OWFS(1)


NAME

       owfs - 1-wire filesystem


SYNOPSIS

       owfs

       See the file man1/cmdline_mini.1so.

       -m mountdir


DESCRIPTION

       See the file man1/description.1so.

   owfs
       owfs (1) is the filesystem client of the OWFS family of programs. It
       runs on linux, freebsd and Mac OS X, and requires the fuse kernel
       module and library. (http://fuse.sourceforge.net) which is a user-mode
       filesystem driver.

       Essentially, the entire 1-wire bus is mounted to a place in your
       filesystem. All the 1-wire devices are accessible using standard file
       operations (read, write, directory listing). The system is safe, no
       actual files are exposed, these files are virtual. Not all operations
       are supported. Specifically, file creation, deletion, linking and
       renaming are not allowed. (You can link from outside to a owfs file,
       but not the other way around).

       See the file man1/device.1so.


SPECIFIC OPTIONS

   -m --mountpoint=directory_path
       Path of a directory to mount the 1-wire file system

       The mountpoint is required. There is no default.

   --allow_other

       see the fuse (owfs) mount point and file system. Requires a setting in
       /etc/fuse.conf as well.
