getfsent(3)                DG/UX 4.30                 getfsent(3)



     NAME
          getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, getfstype, setfsent,
          endfsent - get filesystem descriptor file entry

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <fstab.h>

          struct fstab *getfsent

          struct fstab *getfsspec(spec)
          char *spec;

          struct fstab *getfsfile(file)
          char *file;

          struct fstab *getfstype(type)
          char *type;

          int setfsent

          int endfsent

     DESCRIPTION
          These routines are included for compatibility with earlier
          revisions of DG/UX.  They have been superseded by the
          getmntent(3) library routines.

          Getfsent, getfsspec, getfstype, and getfsfile each return a
          pointer to an object with the following structure containing
          the broken-out fields of a line in the filesystem
          description file,
          < fstab.h >.

               struct fstab{
                    char *fs_spec;
                    char *fs_file;
                    char *fs_type;
                    int  fs_freq;
                    int  fs_passno;
               };

          The fields have meanings described in fstab(4).   Note  that
          new  fs_type  definition  strings  have  been added to these
          functions and to the <fstab.h> file to describe  NFS  remote
          file systems.

          Getfsent reads the next line of the file, opening  the  file
          if necessary.

          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
          filesystem file name is found, or until EOF is  encountered.
          Getfstype  does  likewise,  matching  on the filesystem type
          field.

     FILES
          /etc/fstab

     SEE ALSO

     RETURN VALUE
          Null pointer (0) returned on EOF or error.

     CAVEAT
          The return value  points  to  static  information  which  is
          overwritten in each call.
