.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS "\fBgetmntent()\fR and \fBgetmntany()\fR"
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetmntent()\fR and \fBgetmntany()\fR functions each fill in the
structure pointed to by \fImp\fR with the broken-out fields of a line in the
\fBmnttab\fR file. Each line read from the file contains a \fBmnttab\fR
structure, which is defined in the <\fBsys/mnttab.h\fR> header. The structure
contains the following members, which correspond to the broken-out fields from
a line in \fB/etc/mnttab\fR (see \fBmnttab\fR(4)).
.sp
.in +2
.nf
char   *mnt_special;     /* name of mounted resource */
char   *mnt_mountp;      /* mount point */
char   *mnt_fstype;      /* type of file system mounted */
char   *mnt_mntopts;     /* options for this mount */
char   *mnt_time;        /* time file system mounted */
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
Fields with no actual content in \fB/etc/mnttab\fR are represented in the file
as "-". To clearly distinguish empty fields, \fBgetmntent()\fR set the
corresponding field in \fImp\fR to \fINULL\fR.
.sp
.LP
Each \fBgetmntent()\fR call causes a new line to be read from the \fBmnttab\fR
file. Successive calls can be used to search the entire list. The
\fBgetmntany()\fR function searches the file referenced by \fIfp\fR until a
match is found between a line in the file and \fImpref\fR. A match occurs if
all non-null entries in \fImpref\fR match the corresponding fields in the file.
These functions do not open, close, or rewind the file.
.SS "\fBgetextmntent()\fR"
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetextmntent()\fR function is an extended version of the
\fBgetmntent()\fR function that returns, in addition to the information that
\fBgetmntent()\fR returns, the major and minor number of the mounted resource
to which the line in \fBmnttab\fR corresponds. The \fBgetextmntent()\fR
function also fills in the \fBextmntent\fR structure defined in the
<\fBsys/mnttab.h\fR> header.  For \fBgetextmntent()\fR to function properly, it
must be notified when the \fBmnttab\fR file has been reopened or rewound since
a previous \fBgetextmntent()\fR call.  This notification is accomplished by
calling \fBresetmnttab()\fR. Otherwise, it behaves exactly as \fBgetmntent()\fR
described above
.sp
.LP
The data pointed to by the \fBmnttab\fR structure members are stored in a
static area and must be copied to be saved between successive calls.
.SS "\fBhasmntopt()\fR"
.sp
.LP
The \fBhasmntopt()\fR function scans the \fBmnt_mntopts\fR member of the
\fBmnttab\fR structure \fImnt\fR for a substring that matches \fIopt\fR. It
returns the address of the substring if a match is found; otherwise it returns
\fB0\fR. Substrings are delimited by commas and the end of the
\fBmnt_mntopts\fR string.
.SS "\fBputmntent()\fR"
.sp
.LP
The \fBputmntent()\fR function is obsolete and no longer has any effect.
Entries appear in \fBmnttab\fR as a side effect of a \fBmount\fR(2) call. The
function name is still defined for transition purposes.
.SS "\fBresetmnttab()\fR"
.sp
.LP
The \fBresetmnttab()\fR function notifies \fBgetextmntent()\fR to reload from
the kernel the device information that corresponds to the new snapshot of the
\fBmnttab\fR information (see \fBmnttab\fR(4)). Subsequent \fBgetextmntent()\fR
calls then return correct \fBextmnttab\fR information. This function should be
called whenever the \fBmnttab\fR file is either rewound or closed and reopened
before any calls are made to \fBgetextmntent()\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.SS "\fBgetmntent()\fR and \fBgetmntany()\fR"
.sp
.LP
If the next entry is successfully read by \fBgetmntent()\fR or a match is found
with \fBgetmntany()\fR, \fB0\fR is returned.  If an \fBEOF\fR is encountered on
reading, these functions return \fB\(mi1\fR\&. If an error is encountered, a
value greater than 0 is returned. The following error values are defined in
\fB<sys/mnttab.h>\fR:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMNT_TOOLONG\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
A line in the file exceeded the internal buffer size of \fBMNT_LINE_MAX\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMNT_TOOMANY\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
A line in the file contains too many fields.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMNT_TOOFEW\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
A line in the file contains too few fields.
.RE

.SS "\fBhasmntopt()\fR"
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBhasmntopt()\fR returns the address of the
substring if a match is found. Otherwise, it returns \fB0\fR.
.SS "\fBputmntent()\fR"
.sp
.LP
The \fBputmntent()\fR is obsolete and always returns \fB\(mi1\fR\&.
