NAME

getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, setfsent, endfsent − get file system descriptor file entry

SYNOPSIS

#include <fstab.h>

struct fstab \(**getfsent()

struct fstab \(**getfsspec(name)
char \(**name;

struct fstab \(**getfsfile(name)
char \(**name;

int setfsend()

int endfsent()

DESCRIPTION

Getfsent, getfsspec and getfsfile each return a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the broken-out fields of a line in the file system description file, /usr/include/fstab.h. 

#defineFSNMLG16
 struct fstab{
charfs_spec[FSNMLG];
charfs_file[FSNMLG];
charfs_type[3];
intfs_freq;
intfs_passno;
};

The fields have meanings described in fstab(5).

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 file system file name is found, or until EOF is encountered.
