MOUNT_NTFS(8)             BSD System Manager's Manual            MOUNT_NTFS(8)

NAME
     mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system

SYNOPSIS
     mount_ntfs [-o options] special node

DESCRIPTION
     The mount_ntfs command attaches the NTFS file system residing on the device special to the global file
     system namespace at the location indicated by node.  This command is normally executed by mount(8) at
     boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any directory that they own
     (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that contains the file system).

     The options are as follows:

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