volmgt_ownspath(3VOLMGT)				Volume Management Library Functions				  volmgt_ownspath(3VOLMGT)

NAME
       volmgt_ownspath - check volume management name space for path

SYNOPSIS
       cc [flag]... file... -lvolgmt [library]...
       #include <volmgt.h>

       int volmgt_ownspath(char *path);

PARAMETERS
       path    A string containing the path.

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       This  function  is obsolete. The management of removable media by the Volume Management feature, including vold, has been replaced by soft-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.

       The  volmgt_ownspath() function checks to see if a given path is contained in the volume management name space. This is achieved by compar-
       ing the beginning of the supplied path name with the output from volmgt_root(3VOLMGT)

RETURN VALUES
       The return from this function is undefined.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Using volmgt_ownspath()

       The following example first checks if volume management is running, then checks the volume management name space for path, and then returns
       the id for the piece of media.

	 char *path;

	 ...

	 if (volmgt_running()) {
	      if (volmgt_ownspath(path)) {
		   (void) printf("id of %s is %lld
",
			path, media_getid(path));
	      }
	 }
