NAME
BSD::Getfsent - Get file system descriptor file entry
SYNOPSIS
use BSD::Getfsent qw(getfsent);
while (@entry = getfsent()) {
print "@entry\n";
}
FUNCTIONS
getfsent
In list context, each file system entry is returned ("getfsent()"
continuously reads the next line of the /etc/fstab file).
The list returned is structured as follows:
$entry[0] # block special device name
$entry[1] # file system path prefix
$entry[2] # type of file system
$entry[3] # comma separated mount options
$entry[4] # rw, ro, sw, or xx
$entry[5] # dump frequency, in days
$entry[6] # pass number on parallel fsck
In scalar context, total of entries is returned.
FILES
/etc/fstab
EXPORT
"getfsent()" is exportable.
BUGS & CAVEATS
"BSD::Getfsent" was, as it name suggests, developed for BSD-like
systems. It may be nevertheless suitable for other UNIX-like systems,
including Linux, but remains untested. Bear in mind, that tests will
fail if no /etc/fstab can be found (in order that testing on systems
like Windows, where no /etc/fstab exists, doesn't result in a false
positive).
