sysfs − get file system type information
int sysfs(int option, const char *fsname);
int sysfs(int option, unsigned int fs_index, char *buf);
int sysfs(int option);
sysfs returns information about the file system types currently present in the kernel. The specific form of the sysfs call and the information returned depends on the option in effect:
1 |
Translate the file-system identifier string fsname into a file-system type index. | ||
2 |
Translate the file-system type index fs_index into a null-terminated file-system identifier string. This string will be written to the buffer pointed to by buf. Make sure that buf has enough space to accept the string. | ||
3 |
Return the total number of file system types currently present in the kernel. |
The numbering of the file-system type indexes begins with zero.
On success, sysfs returns the file-system index for option 1, zero for option 2, and the number of currently configured file systems for option 3. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
EINVAL |
fsname is not a valid file-system type identifier; fs_index is out-of-bounds; option is invalid. | ||
EFAULT |
Either fsname or buf is outside your accessible address space. |
SVr4.
On Linux with the proc filesystem mounted on /proc, the same information can be derived from /proc/filesystems.
There is no libc or glibc support. There is no way to guess how large buf should be.
