Amd Command Line Options
************************
Many of Amd's parameters can be set from the command line. The
command line is also used to specify automount points and maps.
The general format of a command line is
amd [options] { directory map-name [-map-options] } ...
For each directory and map-name given, Amd establishes an automount
point. The "map-options" may be any sequence of options or
selectors--see Location Format.. The "map-options" apply only to
Amd's mount point.
`type:=toplvl;cache:=mapdefault;fs:=${map}' is the default value for
the map options. Default options for a map are read from a special
entry in the map whose key is the string `/defaults'. When default
options are given they are prepended to any options specified in the
mount-map locations as explained in. See Map Defaults, for more
details.
The "options" are any combination of those listed below.
Once the command line has been parsed, the automount points are
mounted. The mount points are created if they do not already exist, in
which case they will be removed when Amd exits. Finally, Amd
disassociates itself from its controlling terminal and forks into the
background.
Note: Even if Amd has been built with `-DDEBUG' it will still
background itself and disassociate itself from the controlling terminal.
To use a debugger it is necessary to specify `-D nodaemon' on the
command line.
