.TH VIEW-OS 1 "May 30, 2009" "VIEW-OS: a process with a view"
.SH NAME
um_fsalias \- define a file system type alias
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B um_fsalias 
.I fsalias
[
.I full_filesystem_type
]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
This command is used to define a short alias for a full qualified
view-os file system type.

For example
.br
\fBum_fsalias ext2 umfuseext2\fR
.br
defines ext2 as a short alias for umfuseext2. ext2 can then be used
in a \fBmount\fR command instead of the full name umfuseext2.

Further definitions of the same alias re-define the alias by overwriting
previous mappings.
If full_filesystem_type is omitted, the command deletes any previous
definition of the alias.
