NAME
getvfsbynumber - Gets the virtual file system type name LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mount.h> char *getvfsbynumber( int typeno); PARAMETERS
Specifies the number that identifies the type of the file system. DESCRIPTION
The getvfsbynumber() function returns the symbolic name for the virtual file system type identified by typeno. The type number of a mounted file system can be determined with the statfs() function. NOTES
The getvfsbynumber() function may not be able to handle file systems that are dynamically loaded. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, getvfsbynumber() returns a symbolic name. Otherwise, getvfsbynumber() returns a value of -1 and sets errno. ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occurs, the getvfsbynumber() function sets errno to the corresponding value: typeno is outside the range of known file system types. RELATED INFORMATION
Functions: statfs(2), getvfsbyname(3). delim off getvfsbynumber(3)

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/param.h> #include <sys/ucred.h> #include <sys/mount.h> int getmntinfo(struct statfs **mntbufp, int flags); DESCRIPTION
The getmntinfo() function returns an array of statfs() structures describing each currently mounted file system (see statfs(2)). 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). SEE ALSO
getfsstat(2), mount(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. BSD
