mount: Mount a share with forced case sensitivity.
$ mount -o casesensitive \\${computer_name}\${share_name} ${Z:}
try on your machine

This command is used to mount a network share on a Windows operating system using the mount command.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • mount: This is the command used to mount a file system or network share.
  • -o casesensitive: This option specifies that the file system should be mounted with case sensitivity. This means that file and folder names will be treated as case-sensitive, distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters.
  • \\${computer_name}\${share_name}: This specifies the network share you want to mount. ${computer_name} represents the name of the computer or server where the share is located, and ${share_name} represents the name of the shared folder on that computer.
  • ${Z:}: This specifies the target mount point or directory on the local machine where the network share will be mounted. In this case, it is using the drive letter Z: to specify the mount point.

To summarize, the command is used to mount a network share with case sensitivity on a Windows system, connecting to the specified computer and share name, and mounting it to the Z: drive on the local machine.
