GETFSENT(3)GETFSENT(3)NAME
getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, getfstype, setfsent, endfsent - get
file system descriptor file entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h>
struct fstab *getfsent()
struct fstab *getfsspec(spec)
char *spec;
struct fstab *getfsfile(file)
char *file;
struct fstab *getfstype(type)
char *type;
int setfsent()
int 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.
