[ale] Mac Attack -Episode I

[D. Alan Stewart]

I've upgraded to 10.2. FWIW, here's the man page:

MOUNT_UDF(8)                System Manager's Manual               
MOUNT_UDF(8)

NAME
     mount_udf - mount a UDF filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     mount_udf [-e] [-o options] special | node

DESCRIPTION
     The mount_udf command attaches the UDF filesystem residing on the 
device
     special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by
     node.  This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time.

     The options are as follows:

     -e      Enable the use of extended attributes.

     -o      Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma sepa-
             rated string of options.  See the mount(8) man page for 
possible
             options and their meanings.

SEE ALSO
     mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8)

BUGS
     UDF 1.50 is supported.  UDF 2.0 and later is not.

HISTORY
     The mount_udf utility first appeared MacOS 10
