Following automounter map conventions

When creating any of the automounter maps, follow these conventions:

• Use a backslash before characters that may confuse the automounter's parser. For example, suppose you want to mount a directory whose name includes a colon, such as rc0:dk1. This resource name might result in the map entry

  /junk   -ro   vmsserver:rc0:dk1
  

  The automounter will be confused by the second colon in this entry. To avoid a problem, the entry should look like this:

  /junk -ro vmsserver:rc0\:dk1
  

• Use double quotes around a resource name to hide white space.

• Comments must be preceded by ``#''.

• For long entries, use backslashes to split the line into two or more shorter lines. For example, the entry

  /usr/frame -ro,soft redwood:/usr/frame1.3 balsa:/export/frame
  

  could be written as

  /usr/frame -ro,soft  redwood:/usr/frame1.3 \
                       balsa:/export/frame
