| Guidelines |
| The goal of the thesis is to implement the server and client support for the 9P network file system protocol in the HelenOS microkernel multiserver operating system over standard TCP connections.
The implementation comprises of a library for decoding and encoding the wire protocol of 9P, a client service operating as a native HelenOS VFS file system driver and a server service providing access to the mounted file systems in HelenOS for other networked clients. The text of the thesis focuses on the analysis of the required and optional features of the variants of 9P (Styx, 9P2000 and 9P UNIX extensions), on the caching mechanisms and on achieving reasonable degree of practical compatibility with existing 9P clients and servers in other operating systems. |
