+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn kernel_mount
+family of functions are provided as an API for building a list
+of mount arguments which will be used to mount file systems
+from inside the kernel.
+By accumulating a list of arguments, the API takes shape and
+provides the information necessary for the kernel to control
+the
+.Xr mount 8
+utility.
+When an error occurs, the process will stop.
+This will not cause a
+.Xr panic 9 .
+.Pp
+The header of the structure is stored in
+.Pa src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c
+which permits automatic structure creation to
+ease the mount process.
+Memory allocation must always be freed when the entire
+process is complete, it is an error otherwise.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn free_mntarg
+function is used to free or clear the
+.Vt mntarg
+structure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn kernel_mount
+function pulls information from the structure to perform
+the mount request on a given file system.
+Additionally, the
+.Fn kernel_mount
+function always calls the
+.Fn free_mntarg
+function.
+If
+.Fa ma
+contains any error code generated during the construction,
+that code will be called and the file system mount will
+not be attempted.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mount_arg
+function takes a plain argument and crafts parts of
+the structure with regards to various mount options.
+If the length is a value less than 0,
+.Xr strlen 3
+is used.
+This argument will be referenced until either
+.Fn free_mntarg
+or
+.Fn kernel_mount
+is called.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mount_argb
+function is used to add boolean arguments to
+the structure.
+The
+.Fa flag
+is the boolean value and
+.Fa name
+must start with
+.Qq Li no ,
+otherwise a panic will occur.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mount_argf
+function adds
+.Xr printf 9
+style arguments to the current structure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mount_argsu
+function will add arguments to the structure from a
+userland string.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+An example of the
+.Fn *_cmount
+function:
+.Bd -literal
+static int
+msdosfs_cmount(struct mntarg *ma, void *data, int flags, struct thread *td)
+{
+ struct msdosfs_args args;
+ int error;
+
+ if (data == NULL)
+ return (EINVAL);
+ error = copyin(data, &args, sizeof(args));
+ if (error)
+ return (error);
+
+ ma = mount_argsu(ma, "from", args.fspec, MAXPATHLEN);
+ ma = mount_arg(ma, "export", &args.export, sizeof(args.export));
+ ma = mount_argf(ma, "uid", "%d", args.uid);
+ ma = mount_argf(ma, "gid", "%d", args.gid);
+ ma = mount_argf(ma, "mask", "%d", args.mask);
+ ma = mount_argf(ma, "dirmask", "%d", args.dirmask);
+
+ ma = mount_argb(ma, args.flags & MSDOSFSMNT_SHORTNAME, "noshortname");
+ ma = mount_argb(ma, args.flags & MSDOSFSMNT_LONGNAME, "nolongname");
+ ma = mount_argb(ma, !(args.flags & MSDOSFSMNT_NOWIN95), "nowin95");
+ ma = mount_argb(ma, args.flags & MSDOSFSMNT_KICONV, "nokiconv");
+
+ ma = mount_argsu(ma, "cs_win", args.cs_win, MAXCSLEN);
+ ma = mount_argsu(ma, "cs_dos", args.cs_dos, MAXCSLEN);
+ ma = mount_argsu(ma, "cs_local", args.cs_local, MAXCSLEN);
+
+ error = kernel_mount(ma, flags);
+
+ return (error);
