NAME
getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, setfsent, endfsent - get file system
descriptor file entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h>
struct fstab *getfsent()
struct fstab *getfsspec(name)
char *name;
struct fstab *getfsfile(name)
char *name;
int setfsent()
int endfsent()
DESCRIPTION
Getfsent, getfsspec 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(5).
#define FSNMLG 16
struct fstab{
char fs_spec[FSNMLG];
char fs_file[FSNMLG];
char fs_type[3];
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 neces‐
sary.
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.
