vfstab(4)                                                         vfstab(4)


   NAME
         vfstab - table of file system defaults

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <sys/fstyp.h>
         #include <sys/param.h>
         #include <sys/vfstab.h>

   DESCRIPTION
         The file etc/vfstab describes defaults for each file system.  The
         information is in the following structure, defined in <sys/vfstab.h>:

               struct vfstab {
                     char   *vfsspecial;
                     char   *vfsfsckdev;
                     char   *vfsmountp;
                     char   *vfsfstype;
                     char   *vfsfsckpass;
                     char   *vfsautomnt;
                     char   *vfsmntopts;
               };

         The fields in the table are space-separated and show the block
         special or resource name, the raw device to fsck, the default mount
         directory, the name of the file system type, the number used by fsck
         to decide whether to check the file system automatically, whether the
         file system should be mounted automatically by mountall, and the
         mount options.  A '-' is used to indicate no entry in a field.

         The getvfsent(3C) family of routines are used to read and write to
         /etc/vfstab.
