LOWER=!*overlay-diskfile* _mount/path_ [ _diskfile_ [ _index_ ] ]
UPPER=!*overlay-diskfile* _mount/path_ [ _diskfile_ [ _index_ ] ]
DESCRIPTION

no options.
EXAMPLES
--------
.Use a whole diskfile filesystem as LOWER
====
----
LOWER=!overlay-diskfile mnt/ disk.img

The above mounts the disk.img filesystem onto +mnt+ and provides that
as the LOWER filesystem.
.Use a diskfile partition 2 as LOWER
====
----
LOWER=!overlay-diskfile mnt/ disk.img 2
----
====
The above mounts the second partition onto +mnt+ and provides that as
the LOWER filesystem.
.Use a subtree of a diskfile partition 2 as LOWER
====
----
LOWER=!overlay-diskfile mnt/some/path disk.img 2
----
====
The above mounts the second partition onto +mnt+ and provides the path
+mnt/some/path+ that as the LOWER filesystem.
.Use a while diskfile as UPPER and WORK.
====
----
UPPER=!overlay-diskfile mnt/some/upper/path disk.img 2
WORK= mnt/some/work/path
----
====
The above mounts the second partition of disk.img and uses
+mnt/some/upper/path+ as UPPER and +mnt/some/work/path+ as WORK.
