A 9p filesystem is supported by the emulator, using a virtio transport. Using
|
||||
it, files can be exchanged with the guest OS, see
|
||||
[`create_file`](docs/api.md#create_filestring-file-uint8array-data-functionobject-callback)
|
||||
and
|
||||
[`read_file`](docs/api.md#read_filestring-file-functionobject-uint8array-callback). It can
|
||||
be enabled by passing the following options to `V86Starter`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
options.filesystem = {
|
||||
basefs: "http://localhost/9p/fs.json",
|
||||
baseurl: "http://localhost/9p/base/",
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here, `basefs` is a json file created using
|
||||
[fs2json](https://github.com/copy/fs2json). The base url is the prefix of a url
|
||||
from which the files are available. For instance, if the 9p filesystem has a
|
||||
file `/bin/sh`, that file must be accessible from
|
||||
`http://localhost/9p/base/bin/sh`. If `basefs` and `baseurl` are omitted, an
|
||||
empty 9p filesystem is created.
|
||||
|
||||
The `mount_tag` of the 9p device is `host9p`. In order to mount it in the
|
||||
guest, use:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
mount -t 9p host9p /mnt/9p/
|
||||
```
