DESCRIPTION
The getfsent, getfsspec, and getfsfile functions 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,
.In fstab.h .
struct fstab {
char *fs_spec; /* block special device name */
char *fs_file; /* file system path prefix */
char *fs_vfstype; /* File system type, ufs, nfs */
char *fs_mntops;/* Mount options ala -o */
char *fs_type; /* FSTAB_* from fs_mntops */
intfs_freq; /* dump frequency, in days */
intfs_passno; /* pass number on parallel fsck */
};
The fields have meanings described in fstab(5).
The setfsent function opens the file (closing any previously opened file) or rewinds it if it is already open.
The endfsent function closes the file.
The setfstab function sets the file to be used by subsequent operations. The value set by setfstab does not persist across calls to endfsent.
The getfstab function returns the name of the file that will be used.
The getfsspec and getfsfile functions search the entire file (opening it if necessary) for a matching special file name or file system file name.
For programs wishing to read the entire database, getfsent reads the next entry (opening the file if necessary).
All entries in the file with a type field equivalent to FSTAB_XX are ignored.
RETURN VALUES
The getfsent, getfsspec, and getfsfile functions return a NULL pointer on EOF or error. The setfsent function returns 0 on failure, 1 on success. The endfsent function returns nothing.
