Bind Operations

The P9 protocol for file systems requires a unique feature called bind, which allows for flexible control over the namespace (file hierarchy). The bind operation maps a file, directory, or another namespace tree into a new location in the namespace.

Available Modes

froggr supports four binding modes:

• Replace Mode: Replace existing content
• Before Mode: Add content with higher priority
• After Mode: Add content with lower priority
• Create Mode: Create mountpoint if needed

Each mode provides different behaviors for resolving file lookups when multiple resources are mapped to the same namespace.
