     TRFS(4)                                                   TRFS(4)

     NAME
          trfs - translate spaces and other runes in names in a file
          system

     SYNOPSIS
          trfs olddir mountdir

     DESCRIPTION
          Trfs makes the contents of directory olddir appear on the
          directory mountdir, but every space character in file and
          directory names viewed through mountdir is made visible as a
          special `no-break space' character (U+00A0).  Other Inferno
          applications will not mistake it for the end of a file name,
          and it has some visible representation in most fonts.

     BUGS
          There can be error or ambiguity if the existing tree also
          uses no-break space in its names.
