 fstab(4)                                                           fstab(4)





 NAME
      fstab - static information about the file systems

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <fstab.h>

 REMARKS
      This file is provided only for portability of applications developed
      under BSD.  New applications should use <mntent.h> and getmntent()
      (see getmntent(3)).

 DESCRIPTION
      Including <fstab.h> provides portability for BSD applications using
      getfsent() (see getfsent(3X)).  getfsent() reads file /etc/checklist
      and fills in the fstab structure defined in <fstab.h>.  Note that, in
      BSD systems, /etc/fstab is read using the getfsent(3X) routines.  On
      HP-UX systems, getfsent(3X) emulates the BSD behavior.  Note also that
      including and using <checklist.h> does not produce the same behavior
      from getfsent(3X) as including and using <fstab.h>.

      The struct fstab structure is declared in <fstab.h>, and includes the
      following members:

           char    *fs_spec    Block special device name
           char    *fs_file    File system path prefix
           char    *fs_type    Type of file system (FSTAB_*)
           int     fs_passno   Pass number on parallel dump
           int     fs_freq     Dump frequency, in days

      BSD applications that depend on the position of elements within the
      structure are not portable.
