		ShortDescription: `
Mount IPFS at a read-only mountpoint on the OS (default: /ipfs and /ipns).
All IPFS objects will be accessible under that directory. Note that the
root will not be listable, as it is virtual. Access known paths directly.

You may have to create /ipfs and /ipns before using 'ipfs mount':

> sudo mkdir /ipfs /ipns
> sudo chown $(whoami) /ipfs /ipns
> ipfs daemon &
> ipfs mount
`,
		LongDescription: `
Mount IPFS at a read-only mountpoint on the OS. The default, /ipfs and /ipns,
are set in the configuration file, but can be overriden by the options.
All IPFS objects will be accessible under this directory. Note that the
root will not be listable, as it is virtual. Access known paths directly.

You may have to create /ipfs and /ipns before using 'ipfs mount':

> sudo mkdir /ipfs /ipns
> sudo chown $(whoami) /ipfs /ipns
> ipfs daemon &
> ipfs mount

Example:

# setup
> mkdir foo
> echo "baz" > foo/bar
> ipfs add -r foo
added QmWLdkp93sNxGRjnFHPaYg8tCQ35NBY3XPn6KiETd3Z4WR foo/bar
added QmSh5e7S6fdcu75LAbXNZAFY2nGyZUJXyLCJDvn2zRkWyC foo
