Mount cifs: How split in multiple lines the values of the o parameter

cifsmount

The following command works:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.77/something /mnt/192.168.1.77/something \
           -o username=alpha,rw,uid=alpha,gid=tango,dir_mode=0770,file_mode=0770,nounix,sec=ntlmssp

Observe is possible split the long command in two lines thanks to \.

But for presentation purposes of the command itself, if I try now to split the parameters of the -o parameter again with \ – it is not possible, it arises an error, it because exists empty spaces. Well I deleted all the empty spaces, but in some place they are added.

Is possible accomplish this goal? How?

You can simply specify -o multiple times, e.g. -o opt1,opt2 -o opt3,opt4 and then use \ to break them into more lines.
