getvfsany(3C)

NAME

     getvfsent, getvfsfile, getvfsspec, getvfsany  -  get  vfstab
     file entry

SYNOPSIS

     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <sys/vfstab.h>

     int getvfsent(FILE *fp, struct vfstab *vp);

     int getvfsfile(FILE *fp, struct vfstab *vp, char *file);

     int getvfsspec(FILE *, struct vfstab *vp, char *spec);

     int getvfsany(FILE  *,  struct  vfstab  *vp,  struct  vfstab
     *vref);

DESCRIPTION

     The getvfsent(), getvfsfile(), getvfsspec(), and getvfsany()
     functions  each  fill in the structure pointed to by vp with
     the broken-out fields of a line  in  the  /etc/vfstab  file.
     Each  line in the file contains a vfstab structure, declared
     in the <sys/vfstab.h> header, whose  following  members  are
     described on the vfstab(4) manual page:

          char *vfs_special;
          char *vfs_fsckdev;
          char *vfs_mountp;
          char *vfs_fstype;
          char *vfs_fsckpass;
          char *vfs_automnt;
          char *vfs_mntopts;

     The getvfsent() function  returns  a  pointer  to  the  next
     vfstab  structure  in  the  file; so successive calls can be
     used to search the entire file.

     The getvfsfile() function searches the file referenced by fp
     until a mount point matching file is found and fills vp with
     the fields from the line in the file.

     The getvfsspec() function searches the file referenced by fp
     until  a  special device matching spec is found and fills vp
     with the fields from the line in the file.  The  spec  argu-
     ment  will  try  to match on device type (block or character
     special) and major and minor device numbers.  If  it  cannot
     match in this manner, then it compares the strings.

     The getvfsany() function searches the file referenced by  fp
     until  a match is found between a line in the file and vref.
     A match occurrs if all non-null entries in  vref  match  the
     corresponding fields in the file.
     Note that these functions do not open, close, or rewind  the
     file.

RETURN VALUES

     If the next entry is successfully read by getvfsent()  or  a
     match   is   found   with   getvfsfile(),  getvfsspec(),  or
     getvfsany(), 0 is returned. If an end-of-file is encountered
     on  reading,  these  functions  return  -1.  If  an error is
     encountered, a value greater than 0 is returned. The  possi-
     ble error values are:

     VFS_TOOLONG
           A line in the file exceeded the internal  buffer  size
           of VFS_LINE_MAX.

     VFS_TOOMANY
           A line in the file contains too many fields.

     VFS_TOOFEW
           A line in the file contains too few fields.

NOTES

     The members of the vfstab  structure  point  to  information
     contained in a static area, so it must be copied if it is to
     be saved.
