NAME
volmgt_inuse - check whether or not volume management is managing a pathname SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lvolmgt [ library ... ] #include <volmgt.h> int volmgt_inuse(char *pathname); DESCRIPTION
This function is obsolete. The management of removable media by the Volume Management feature, including vold, has been replaced by soft- ware that supports the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Programmatic support for HAL is through the HAL APIs, which are documented on the HAL web site. See hal(5). The return value of this function is undefined. volmgt_inuse() checks whether volume management is managing the specified pathname. RETURN VALUES
The return from this function is undefined. ERRORS
This routine can fail, returning 0, if a stat(2) of the supplied pathname or an open(2) of /dev/volctl fails, or if any of the following is true: ENXIO Volume management is not running. EINTR An interrupt signal was detected while checking for the supplied pathname for use. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using volmgt_inuse() To see if volume management is managing the first floppy disk: if (volmgt_inuse("/dev/rdiskette0") != 0) { (void) printf("volmgt is managing diskette 0 "); } else { (void) printf("volmgt is NOT managing diskette 0 "); } ATTRIBUTES

cc(1B), open(2), stat(2), errno(3C), volmgt_check(3VOLMGT), volmgt_running(3VOLMGT), attributes(5), hal(5) NOTES
This routine requires volume management to be running. Since volmgt_inuse() returns 0 for two different cases (both when a volume is not in use, and when an error occurs), it is up to the user to to check errno to differentiate the two, and to ensure that volume management is running.

NAME
volmgt_running - return whether or not volume management is running SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lvolmgt [ library ... ] #include <volmgt.h> int volmgt_running(void); DESCRIPTION
This function is obsolete. The management of removable media by the Volume Management feature, including vold, has been replaced by soft- ware that supports the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Programmatic support for HAL is through the HAL APIs, which are documented on the HAL web site. See hal(5). volmgt_running() tells whether or not Volume Management is running. RETURN VALUES
volmgt_running() always returns 0 indicating Volume Management (as implemented by vold) is not running. ERRORS
volmgt_running() will fail, returning 0, if a stat(2) or open(2) of /dev/volctl fails, or if any of the following is true: ENXIO Volume Management is not running. EINTR An interrupt signal was detected while checking to see if Volume Management was running. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using volmgt_running() To see if Volume Management is running: if (volmgt_running() != 0) { (void) printf("Volume Management is running "); } else { (void) printf("Volume Management is NOT running "); } ATTRIBUTES

cc(1B), open(2), stat(2), volmgt_check(3VOLMGT), volmgt_inuse(3VOLMGT), attributes(5), hal(5) NOTES
Volume Management must be running for many of the Volume Management library routines to work. SunOS 5.11 8 Mar 2007 volmgt_running(3VOLMGT)
