intro - introduction to file servers
DESCRIPTION
A Plan 9 file server provides a file tree to processes. This section
of the manual describes servers than can be mounted in a name space to
give a file-like interface to interesting services. A file server may
be a provider of a conventional file system, with files maintained on
permanent storage, or it may also be a process that synthesizes files
in some manner.
