## BSD Note

This command currently has no effect on BSD. Be careful, therefore, of the effect that this will have on make-private-fs 1 and make-read-only-fs 1.

## Description

`set-mount-object` is a chain-loading utility that changes the state of the mount object at directory to state and then chain loads to next-prog with the execvp 3 function.

next-prog may contain its own command line options, which `set-mount-object` will ignore.

The states are

shared

  All mount operations made at or below this mount point are shared with other copies of this mount point.

slave

  This mount point reflects all mount operations made at or below a(nother) master copy.

private

  No mount operations made at or below this mount point are reflected either to or from another copy.
