GETFSENT(3)         UNIX Programmer's Manual          GETFSENT(3)

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 setfsent()

     int endfsent()

DESCRIPTION
     _G_e_t_f_s_e_n_t, _g_e_t_f_s_s_p_e_c and _g_e_t_f_s_f_i_l_e 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, /_u_s_r/_i_n_c_l_u_d_e/_f_s_t_a_b._h.

          #define   FSNMLG    16

          struct fstab{
               char fs_spec[FSNMLG];
               char fs_file[FSNMLG];
               char fs_type[3];
               int  fs_freq;
               int  fs_passno;
          };

     The fields have meanings described in _f_s_t_a_b(5).

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

     _S_e_t_f_s_e_n_t opens and rewinds the file.

     _E_n_d_f_s_e_n_t closes the file.

     _G_e_t_f_s_s_p_e_c and _g_e_t_f_s_f_i_l_e sequentially search from the  begin-
     ning  of the file until a matching special file name or file
     system file name is found, or until EOF is encountered.

FILES
     /etc/fstab
