The getfsent_r subroutine reads the next line of the /etc/filesystems file, opening it necessary.
The setfsent_r subroutine opens the filesystems file and positions to the first record.
The endfsent_r subroutine closes the filesystems file.
The getfsspec_r and getfsfile_r subroutines search sequentially from the beginning of the file until a matching special file name or file-system file name is found, or until the end of the file is encountered. The getfstype_r subroutine behaves similarly, matching on the file-system type field.
| 0 | Indicates that the subroutine was successful. |
| -1 | Indicates that the subroutine was not successful. |
These subroutines are part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
Programs using this subroutine must link to the libpthreads.a library.
| /etc/filesystems | Centralizes file-system characteristics. |
