fstypent(3P)                                         fstypent(3P)



     NAME
          fstypent - get file-system-type entry

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <stdio.h>
          #include <sys/fstypent.h>

          struct fstypent *fstypent(filep)
          FILE *filep;

     DESCRIPTION
          fstypent reads the next line from the file indicated by
          filep and returns a pointer to a struct fstypent containing
          this information.

          The fstypent structure is defined in <sys/fstypent.h>:

            struct fstypent {

                 int fstype;

                 char **typelist;

                 char *pathlist;

            };


          In the above structure, fstype indicates the file-system

          type, and this value is used by fsmount(2).


          typelist is a null-terminated list of pointers; each one

          points to a character string describing a file-system type.

          At least one of these types is defined in <mntent.h>.


          pathlist is a colon-separated list of pathnames.  The path-

          names indicate the directories where file-system-dependent

          utilities may be found.  This entry in /etc/fstypes is not

          required.  pathlist is a NULL pointer if the entry is miss-

          ing.


          The data in this structure and referenced static data are

          overwritten by a subsequent call to fstypent or typefs.


     RETURN VALUE

          fstypent returns a pointer of type struct fstypent.  See

          fstyp(3).  A NULL pointer is returned on end-of-file or er-

          ror.


     FILES

          /etc/fstypes
