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
create_file
and
read_file
. It can
be enabled by passing the following options to V86Starter
:
options.filesystem = {
basefs: "http://localhost/9p/fs.json",
baseurl: "http://localhost/9p/base/",
}
Here, basefs
is a json file created using
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:
mount -t 9p host9p /mnt/9p/
