DESCRIPTION

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  neces‐
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.

65       it is to be saved.
