GETMNTINFO(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					     GETMNTINFO(3)

NAME

     getmntinfo -- get information about mounted file systems

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/statvfs.h>

     int
     getmntinfo(struct statvfs **mntbufp, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

     The getmntinfo() function returns an array of statvfs structures describing each currently mounted file system (see statvfs(2)).

     The getmntinfo() function passes its flags parameter transparently to getvfsstat(2).

RETURN VALUES

     On successful completion, getmntinfo() returns a count of the number of elements in the array.  The pointer to the array is stored into
     mntbufp.

     If an error occurs, zero is returned and the external variable errno is set to indicate the error.  Although the pointer mntbufp will be
     unmodified, any information previously returned by getmntinfo() will be lost.

ERRORS

     The getmntinfo() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the library routines getvfsstat(2) or malloc(3).

SEE ALSO

     getvfsstat(2), mount(2), statvfs(2), mount(8)

HISTORY

     The getmntinfo() function first appeared in 4.4BSD.  It was converted from using getfsstat(2) to getvfsstat(2) in NetBSD 3.0.

BUGS

     The getmntinfo() function writes the array of structures to an internal static object and returns a pointer to that object.  Subsequent calls
     to getmntinfo() will modify the same object.

     The memory allocated by getmntinfo() cannot be free(3)'d by the application.

NAME

     getmntinfo getmntinfo64 -- get information about mounted file systems

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/ucred.h>
     #include <sys/mount.h>

     int
     getmntinfo(struct statfs **mntbufp, int flags);

TRANSITIIONAL SYNOPSIS (NOW DEPRECATED)
     int
     getmntinfo64(struct statfs64 **mntbufp, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

     The getmntinfo() function returns an array of statfs structures describing each currently mounted file system (see statfs(2)).  As statfs(2)
     indicates, the structure is defined differently depending on whether the macro _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE is defined (see stat(2) for more
     information on this macro).

     The getmntinfo() function passes its flags argument transparently to getfsstat(2).

RETURN VALUES

     On successful completion, getmntinfo() returns a count of the number of elements in the array.  The pointer to the array is stored into
     mntbufp.

     If an error occurs, zero is returned and the external variable errno is set to indicate the error.  Although the pointer mntbufp will be
     unmodified, any information previously returned by getmntinfo() will be lost.

ERRORS

     The getmntinfo() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the library routines getfsstat(2) or malloc(3).

TRANSITIONAL DESCRIPTION (NOW DEPRECATED)
     The getmntinfo64() routine is equivalent to its corresponding non-64-suffixed routine, when 64-bit inodes are in effect.  It was added before
     there was support for the symbol variants, and so is now deprecated.  Instead of using it, set the _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE macro before
     including header files to force 64-bit inode support.

     The statfs64 structure used by this deprecated routine is the same as the statfs structure when 64-bit inodes are in effect.

SEE ALSO

     getfsstat(2), mount(2), stat(2), statfs(2), mount(8)

HISTORY

     The getmntinfo() function first appeared in 4.4BSD.

BUGS

     The getmntinfo() function writes the array of structures to an internal static object and returns a pointer to that object.  Subsequent calls
     to getmntinfo() will modify the same object.

     The memory allocated by getmntinfo() cannot be free(3)'d by the application.
