GETDISKBYNAME(3) BSD Library Functions Manual GETDISKBYNAME(3)NAME
getdiskbyname, setdisktab -- get generic disk description by its name
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/disklabel.h>
#include <disktab.h>
int
setdisktab(char *name);
struct disklabel *
getdiskbyname(const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
The getdiskbyname() function takes a disk name (e.g. 'rm03') and returns a prototype disk label describing its geometry information and the
standard disk partition tables. All information is obtained from the disktab(5) file.
The setdisktab() function changes the default disktab file name from /etc/disktab (aka _PATH_DISKTAB) to name.
RETURN VALUES
getdiskbyname() returns a null pointer if the entry is not found in the current disktab file.
setdisktab() returns 0 on success and -1 if name is a null pointer or points to an empty string.
FILES
/etc/disktab the default database of disk types.
SEE ALSO disklabel(5), disktab(5), disklabel(8)HISTORY
The getdiskbyname() function appeared in 4.3BSD.
The setdisktab() function appeared in NetBSD 1.4.
BUGS
The getdiskbyname() function leaves its results in an internal static object and returns a pointer to that object. Subsequent calls will
modify the same object.

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.

I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
