NAME
getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, getfstype, setfsent,
endfsent - get
file system descriptor file entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h>
struct fstab *getfsent()
struct fstab *getfsspec(spec)
const char *spec;
struct fstab *getfsfile(file)
const char *file;
struct fstab *getfstype(type)
const char *type;
int setfsent()
void endfsent()
DESCRIPTION
Getfsent, getfsspec, getfstype, and getfsfile each return a
pointer
to an object with the following structure containing the
broken-out
fields of a line in the file system description file,
<fstab.h>.
struct fstab {
char *fs_spec;
char *fs_file;
char *fs_type;
int fs_freq;
int fs_passno;
};
The fields have meanings described in fstab(5).
Getfsent reads the next line of
the file, opening the file if
necessary.
Setfsent opens and rewinds the file.
Endfsent closes the file.
Getfsspec and getfsfile
sequentially search from the beginning of
the file until a matching special file name or file system
file
name is found, or until EOF is encountered. Getfstype does
likewise, matching on the file system type field.
FILES
