automount

macos

Read the `/etc/auto_master` file and mount `autofs` on the appropriate mount points to trigger the on-demand mounting of directories. Essentially, it's a way to manually initiate the system's automounting process. Note: You'll most likely need to run with `sudo` if you don't have the necessary permissions.
