Initial draft for 9P host and guest implementations.
Seems to work for read-only stuff. Still need to do tests with writable systems since some required operations are probably missing implementations at the moment.
(I had this working a few months ago but forgot to publish the draft. Oops.)
Example server/host invocation:
fs mount 9p ipfs $multiaddrwould host the IPFS API on
$multiaddrwhich a client could then attach to.Example guest/client invocation:
fs mount fuse 9p -9p-server $multiaddr $mountpointwould attach to
$multiaddrand mount it (via FUSE) at$mountpointThe invocation names and flags may change. Suggestions welcomed.
I'm not sure if
9p-server,9p-clientwould be better than keeping them both as just9p.We only support 9P2000.L at the moment, but this may change in the far future. If/when it does we'd probably support a
-protocl-versionflag to select specific ones, or they could be broken out into a unique command namespace.E.g.
fs mount 9p2000l ipfs ...but this may be too verbose and not sensible to implement compared to a singular9pwith flags.
