+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mount_portal
+.Nd mount the portal daemon
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mount_portal
+.Op Fl o Ar options
+.Ar /etc/portal.conf
+.Ar mount_point
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm mount_portal
+command attaches an instance of the portal daemon
+to the global filesystem namespace.
+The conventional mount point is
+.Pa /p .
+This command is normally executed by
+.Xr mount 8
+at boot time.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl o
+Options are specified with a
+.Fl o
+flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
+See the
+.Xr mount 8
+man page for possible options and their meanings.
+.El
+.Pp
+The portal daemon provides an
+.Em open
+service.
+Objects opened under the portal mount point are
+dynamically created by the portal daemon according
+to rules specified in the named configuration file.
+Using this mechanism allows descriptors such as sockets
+to be made available in the filesystem namespace.
+.Pp
+The portal daemon works by being passed the full pathname
+of the object being opened.
+The daemon creates an appropriate descriptor according
+to the rules in the configuration file, and then passes the descriptor back
+to the calling process as the result of the open system call.
+.Sh NAMESPACE
+By convention, the portal daemon divides the namespace into sub-namespaces,
+each of which handles objects of a particular type.
+.Pp
+Currently, two sub-namespaces are implemented:
+.Pa tcp
+and
+.Pa fs .
+The
+.Pa tcp
+namespace takes a hostname and a port (slash separated) and
+creates an open TCP/IP connection.
+The
+.Pa fs
+namespace opens the named file, starting back at the root directory.
+This can be used to provide a controlled escape path from
+a chrooted environment.
+.Sh "CONFIGURATION FILE"
+The configuration file contains a list of rules.
+Each rule takes one line and consists of two or more
+whitespace separated fields.
+A hash (``#'') character causes the remainder of a line to
+be ignored.  Blank lines are ignored.
+.Pp
+The first field is a pathname prefix to match
+against the requested pathname.
+If a match is found, the second field
+tells the daemon what type of object to create.
+Subsequent fields are passed to the creation function.
