        !            25: .I name
        !            26: must exist already; it
        !            27: must be a directory (unless the root of the
        !            28: mounted file system is not a directory).
        !            29: It becomes the name of the newly mounted root.

        !            42: .B \-a
        !            43: option is present for either
        !            44: .I mount
        !            45: or

        !            53: .I name
        !            54: are taken from

        !            72: whether or not any explicit write is attempted.
        !            73: Setting the write-protected button alone
        !            74: is not sufficient to notify the system of the
        !            75: intent.  This may even adversely affect the file system.
