Provided by: umview_0.6-1_i386 umview - User Mode implementation
of View-OS umview [ options ] prog The main goal of the View-OS
project is to give each process its own view of the system
resources. For example, each process can mount filesystems or
hide some file or directories. It is also possible to assign
virtual network interfaces, IP addresses or define virtual
devices for each process (or for hierarchies of processes).
umview is the user mode implementation of View-OS concepts. It
is a modular partial virtual machine. umview before loading any
module is completely transparent, a process behaves inside
umview as it would have behaved outside. Each module can
customize specific entities: there are modules to mount
filesystems at user-level (umfuse) , to define virtual networks
(umnet) , to define virtual devices (umdev) , to provide
interpreters for executables, e.g. to support executables for
foreign architectures (umbinfmt) , to hide, move, overlay parts
of the file system (viewfs). These are some exam
