GETMNTENT(3C-SVR4)  RISC/os Reference Manual   GETMNTENT(3C-SVR4)



NAME
     getmntent, getmntany - get mnttab file entry

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

     int getmntent (FILE *fp, struct mnttab *mp);

     int getmntany (FILE *fp, struct mnttab *mp, struct mnttab
     *mpref);

DESCRIPTION
     getmntent and getmntany each fill in the structure pointed
     to by mp with the broken-out fields of a line in the
     /etc/mnttab file.  Each line in the file contains a mnttab
     structure, declared in the sys/mnttab.h header file:

          struct mnttab {
               char *mnt_special;
               char *mnt_mountp;
               char *mnt_fstype;
               char *mnt_mntopts;
               char *mnt_time;
          };


     The fields have meanings described in mnttab(4).

     getmntent returns a pointer to the next mnttab structure in
     the file; so successive calls can be used to search the
     entire file.  getmntany searches the file referenced by fp
     until a match is found between a line in the file and mpref.
     mpref matches the line if all non-null entries in mpref
     match the corresponding fields in the file.  Note that these
     routines do not open, close, or rewind the file.

FILES
     /etc/mnttab

SEE ALSO
     mnttab(4).

DIAGNOSTICS
     If the next entry is successfully read by getmntent or a
     match is found with getmntany, 0 is returned.  If an end-
     of-file is encountered on reading, these functions return
     -1.  If an error is encountered, a value greater than 0 is
     returned.  The possible error values are:

     MNT_TOOLONG         A line in the file exceeded the internal
                         buffer size of MNT_LINE_MAX.

     MNT_TOOMANY         A line in the file contains too many
                         fields.

     MNT_TOOFEW          A line in the file contains too few
                         fields.

NOTES
     The members of the mnttab structure point to information
     contained in a static area, so it must be copied if it is to
     be saved.
