32.Dt GETMNTOPTS 3
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm getmntopts
36.Nd scan mount options
37.Sh LIBRARY
38.Lb libutil
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In mntopts.h
41.Ft void
42.Fn getmntopts "const char *options" "const struct mntopt *mopts" "int *flagp" "int *altflagp"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn getmntopts
46function takes a comma separated option list and a list
47of valid option names, and computes the bitmask
48corresponding to the requested set of options.
49.Pp
50The string
51.Fa options
52is broken down into a sequence of comma separated tokens.
53Each token is looked up in the table described by
54.Fa mopts
55and the bits in
56the word referenced by either
57.Fa flagp
58or
59.Fa altflagp
60(depending on the
61.Va m_altloc
62field of the option's table entry)
63are updated.
64The flag words are not initialized by
65.Fn getmntopts .
66The table,
67.Fa mopts ,
68has the following format:
69.Bd -literal
70struct mntopt {
71	char *m_option;		/* option name */
72	int m_inverse;		/* is this a negative option, e.g. "dev" */
73	int m_flag;		/* bit to set, e.g. MNT_RDONLY */
74	int m_altloc;		/* non-zero to use altflagp rather than flagp */
75};
76.Ed
77.Pp
78The members of this structure are:
79.Bl -tag -width m_inverse
80.It Va m_option
81the option name,
82for example
83.Dq Li suid .
84.It Va m_inverse
85tells
86.Fn getmntopts
87that the name has the inverse meaning of the
88bit.
89For example,
90.Dq Li suid
91is the string, whereas the
92mount flag is
93.Dv MNT_NOSUID .
94In this case, the sense of the string and the flag
95are inverted, so the
96.Va m_inverse
97flag should be set.
98.It Va m_flag
99the value of the bit to be set or cleared in
100the flag word when the option is recognized.
101The bit is set when the option is discovered,
102but cleared if the option name was preceded
103by the letters
104.Dq Li no .
105The
106.Va m_inverse
107flag causes these two operations to be reversed.
108.It Va m_altloc
109the bit should be set or cleared in
110.Fa altflagp
111rather than
112.Fa flagp .
113.El
114.Pp
115Each of the user visible
116.Dv MNT_
117flags has a corresponding
118.Dv MOPT_
119macro which defines an appropriate
120.Vt "struct mntopt"
121entry.
122To simplify the program interface and ensure consistency across all
123programs, a general purpose macro,
124.Dv MOPT_STDOPTS ,
125is defined which
126contains an entry for all the generic VFS options.
127In addition, the macros
128.Dv MOPT_FORCE
129and
130.Dv MOPT_UPDATE
131exist to enable the
132.Dv MNT_FORCE
133and
134.Dv MNT_UPDATE
135flags to be set.
136Finally, the table must be terminated by an entry with a
137.Dv NULL
138first element.
139.Sh EXAMPLES
140Most commands will use the standard option set.
141Local file systems which support the
142.Dv MNT_UPDATE
143flag, would also have an
144.Dv MOPT_UPDATE
145entry.
146This can be declared and used as follows:
147.Bd -literal
148#include <mntopts.h>
149
150struct mntopt mopts[] = {
151	MOPT_STDOPTS,
152	MOPT_UPDATE,
153	{ NULL }
154};
155
156	...
157	mntflags = mntaltflags = 0;
158	...
159	getmntopts(options, mopts, &mntflags, &mntaltflags);
160	...
161.Ed
162.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
163If the external integer variable
164.Va getmnt_silent
165is non-zero then the
166.Fn getmntopts
167function displays an error message and exits if an
168unrecognized option is encountered.
169By default
170.Va getmnt_silent
171is zero.
