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



NAME
     getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, getfstype, setfsent,
     endfsent - get file system 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
     _G_e_t_f_s_e_n_t, _g_e_t_f_s_s_p_e_c, _g_e_t_f_s_t_y_p_e, 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 descrip-
     tion 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 _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.
     _G_e_t_f_s_t_y_p_e  does  likewise,  matching on the file system type
     field.
