28 Getfsent, getfsspec, getfstype, and getfsfile each return a pointer to
29 an object with the following structure containing the broken-out fields
30 of a line in the file system description file, <fstab.h>.
31
32 struct fstab {
33 char *fs_spec;
34 char *fs_file;
35 char *fs_type;
36 int fs_freq;
37 int fs_passno;
38 };
39
40 The fields have meanings described in fstab(5).
41
42 Getfsent reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necesā
43 sary.
44
45 Setfsent opens and rewinds the file.
46
47 Endfsent closes the file.
48
49 Getfsspec and getfsfile sequentially search from the beginning of the
50 file until a matching special file name or file system file name is
51 found, or until EOF is encountered. Getfstype does likewise, matching
52 on the file system type field.
