exportent, getexportent, setexportent, addexportent, remexportent, endexportent, getexportopt - get exported file system information

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>
#include <exportent.h>

FILE *setexportent()

struct exportent *getexportent(filep)
FILE *filep;

int addexportent(filep, dirname, options)
FILE *filep;
char *dirname;
char *options;

int remexportent(filep, dirname)
FILE *filep;
char *dirname;

char *getexportopt(xent, opt)
struct exportent *xent;
char *opt;

void endexportent(filep)
FILE *filep;

DESCRIPTION

These routines access the exported filesystem information in /etc/xtab.

setexportent() opens the export information file and returns a file pointer to use with getexportent, addexportent, remexportent, and endexportent. getexportent() reads the next line from filep and returns a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the broken-out fields of a line in the file, /etc/xtab The fields have meanings described in exports.5

#define ACCESS_OPT  "access"  /* machines that can mount fs */
#define ROOT_OPT    "root"    /* machines with root access of fs */
#define RO_OPT      "ro"      /* export read-only */
#define ANON_OPT    "anon"    /* uid for anonymous requests */
#define SECURE_OPT  "secure"  /* require secure NFS for access */
#define WINDOW_OPT  "window"  /* expiration window for credential */

struct exportent {
	char *xent_dirname;	/* directory (or file) to export */
	char *xent_options;	/* options, as above */
};

addexportent() adds the exportent() to the end of the open file filep. It returns 0 if successful and -1 on failure. remexportent() removes the indicated entry from the list. It also returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. getexportopt() scans the xent_options field of the exportent() structure for a substring that matches opt. It returns the string value of opt, or NULL if the option is not found.

endexportent() closes the file.

FILES

/etc/exports
/etc/xtab

DIAGNOSTICS

NULL pointer (0) returned on EOF or error.

BUGS

The returned exportent() structure points to static information that is overwritten in each call.
