GETFSENT(3C)            COMMAND REFERENCE            GETFSENT(3C)



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.

          #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 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 filename or
     file system filename is found, or until EOF is encountered.
