NAME
setmntent, getmntent, addmntent, endmntent, hasmntopt - get
file
system descriptor file entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mntent.h>
FILE *setmntent(filep, type)
const char *filep;
const char *type;
struct mntent *getmntent(filep)
FILE *filep;
int addmntent(filep, mnt)
FILE *filep;
struct mntent *mnt;
char *hasmntopt(mnt, opt)
struct mntent *mnt;
char *opt;
int endmntent(filep)
FILE *filep;
DESCRIPTION
These routines replace the getfsent routines for accessing
the file
system description file /etc/fstab. They are also used to
access
the mounted file system description file /etc/mtab.
Setmntent opens a file system
description file and returns a file
pointer which can then be used with getmntent, addmntent, or
endmntent. The type argument is the same as in fopen(3).
Getmntent reads the next line from filep and returns a
pointer to
an object with the following structure containing the
broken-out
fields of a line in the filesystem description file,
<mntent.h>.
The fields have meanings described in fstab(5).
struct mntent {
char *mnt_fsname;/* file system name */
char *mnt_dir; /* file system path prefix */
char *mnt_type; /* 4.2, nfs, swap, or xx */
char *mnt_opts; /* ro, quota, etc. */
int mnt_freq; /* dump frequency, in days */
int mnt_passno; /* pass number on parallel fsck */
};
Addmntent adds the mntent
structure mnt to the end of the open file
filep. Note that filep has to be opened for writing if this
is to
work. Hasmntopt scans the mnt_opts field of the mntent
structure
mnt for a substring that matches opt. It returns the address
of
the substring if a match is found, 0 otherwise. Endmntent
closes
the file.
FILES
/etc/fstab
/etc/mtab

DIAGNOSTICS
Null pointer (0) returned on EOF or error.
BUGS
The returned mntent structure points to static information
that is
overwritten in each call.
