.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBgetvfsent()\fR, \fBgetvfsfile()\fR, \fBgetvfsspec()\fR, and
\fBgetvfsany()\fR functions each fill in the structure pointed to by \fIvp\fR
with the broken-out fields of a line in the \fB/etc/vfstab\fR file. Each line
in the file contains a \fBvfstab\fR structure, declared in the
<\fBsys/vfstab.h\fR> header, whose following members are described on the
\fBvfstab\fR(4) manual page:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fB	char	*vfs_special;
	char	*vfs_fsckdev;
	char	*vfs_mountp;
	char	*vfs_fstype;
	char	*vfs_fsckpass;
	char	*vfs_automnt;
	char	*vfs_mntopts;\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The \fBgetvfsent()\fR function returns a pointer to the next \fBvfstab\fR
structure in the file; so successive calls can be used to search the entire
file.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetvfsfile()\fR function searches the file referenced by \fIfp\fR until
a mount point matching \fBfile\fR is found and fills \fIvp\fR with the fields
from the line in the file.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetvfsspec()\fR function searches the file referenced by \fIfp\fR until
a special device matching \fIspec\fR is found and fills \fIvp\fR with the
fields from the line in the file.  The \fIspec\fR argument will try to match on
device type (block or character special) and major and minor device numbers. If
it cannot match in this manner, then it compares the strings.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetvfsany()\fR function searches the file referenced by \fIfp\fR until a
match is found between a line in the file and \fIvref\fR. A match occurs if
all non-null entries in \fIvref\fR match the corresponding fields in the file.
.sp
.LP
Note that these functions do not open, close, or rewind the file.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.LP
If the next entry is successfully read by \fBgetvfsent()\fR or a match is found
with \fBgetvfsfile()\fR, \fBgetvfsspec()\fR, or \fBgetvfsany()\fR, \fB0\fR is
returned. If an end-of-file is encountered on reading, these functions return
\fB\(mi1\fR\&. If an error is encountered, a value greater than 0 is returned.
The possible error values are:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBVFS_TOOLONG\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
A line in the file exceeded the internal buffer size of \fBVFS_LINE_MAX\fR.
.RE

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

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

.SH NOTES
.LP
The members of the \fBvfstab\fR structure point to information contained in a
static area, so it must be copied if it is to be saved.
