NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     readlabelfs - read disklabel filesystem type

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <util.h>

     char *
     readlabelfs(char *device, int verbose);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  readlabelfs()  function  attempts  to   determine   the
filesystem type of
     the  disk  partition specified by device and returns it in a
short form
     that can  be  easily  used  to  construct  arguments  within
mount(8) and similar
 high-level filesystem utilities.

     If  the  verbose argument is not 0, readlabelfs() will print
appropriate
     error messages before returning.  Otherwise, it produces  no
output on the
     terminal.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     readlabelfs() returns NULL upon error, or a valid filesystem
type upon
     success.
