getfsent(3C)                   DG/UX R4.11MU05                  getfsent(3C)


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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <fstab.h>

       struct fstab *getfsent(void)

       struct fstab *getfsspec(char *spec)

       struct fstab *getfsfile(char *file)

       struct fstab *getfstype(char *type)

       int setfsent(void)

       int endfsent(void)

DESCRIPTION
       These routines are included for compatibility with earlier revisions
       of the DG/UX System.  They have been superseded by the getmntent(3C)
       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 *fsspec;
                   char *fsfile;
                   char *fstype;
                   int  fsfreq;
                   int  fspassno;
              };

       The fields have meanings described in fstab(4).  Note that new
       fstype 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

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

SEE ALSO
       fstab(4).

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