68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69The
70.Nm mntopts
71functions support operations associated with a mount point.
72For historic reasons are in a file in the sources for the
73.Xr mount 8
74program.
75Thus, to access them the following lines need to be added to the
76.Nm Makefile
77of the program wanting to use them:
78.Bd -literal
79SRCS+=	getmntopts.c
80MOUNT=  ${SRCTOP}/sbin/mount
81CFLAGS+= -I${MOUNT}
82\&.PATH: ${MOUNT}
83.Ed
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn getmntopts
87function takes a comma separated option list and a list
88of valid option names, and computes the bitmask
89corresponding to the requested set of options.
90.Pp
91The string
92.Fa options
93is broken down into a sequence of comma separated tokens.
94Each token is looked up in the table described by
95.Fa mopts
96and the bits in
97the word referenced by either
98.Fa flagp
99or
100.Fa altflagp
101(depending on the
102.Va m_altloc
103field of the option's table entry)
104are updated.
105The flag words are not initialized by
106.Fn getmntopts .
107The table,
108.Fa mopts ,
109has the following format:
110.Bd -literal
111struct mntopt {
112	char *m_option;	/* option name */
113	int m_inverse;	/* is this a negative option, e.g., "dev" */
114	int m_flag;	/* bit to set, e.g., MNT_RDONLY */
115	int m_altloc;	/* non-zero to use altflagp rather than flagp */
116};
117.Ed
118.Pp
119The members of this structure are:
120.Bl -tag -width m_inverse
121.It Va m_option
122the option name,
123for example
124.Dq Li suid .
125.It Va m_inverse
126tells
127.Fn getmntopts
128that the name has the inverse meaning of the
129bit.
130For example,
131.Dq Li suid
132is the string, whereas the
133mount flag is
134.Dv MNT_NOSUID .
135In this case, the sense of the string and the flag
136are inverted, so the
137.Va m_inverse
138flag should be set.
139.It Va m_flag
140the value of the bit to be set or cleared in
141the flag word when the option is recognized.
142The bit is set when the option is discovered,
143but cleared if the option name was preceded
144by the letters
145.Dq Li no .
146The
147.Va m_inverse
148flag causes these two operations to be reversed.
149.It Va m_altloc
150the bit should be set or cleared in
151.Fa altflagp
152rather than
153.Fa flagp .
154.El
155.Pp
156Each of the user visible
157.Dv MNT_
158flags has a corresponding
159.Dv MOPT_
160macro which defines an appropriate
161.Vt "struct mntopt"
162entry.
163To simplify the program interface and ensure consistency across all
164programs, a general purpose macro,
165.Dv MOPT_STDOPTS ,
166is defined which
167contains an entry for all the generic VFS options.
168In addition, the macros
169.Dv MOPT_FORCE
170and
171.Dv MOPT_UPDATE
172exist to enable the
173.Dv MNT_FORCE
174and
175.Dv MNT_UPDATE
176flags to be set.
177Finally, the table must be terminated by an entry with a
178.Dv NULL
179first element.
180.Pp
181The
182.Fn getmntpoint
183function takes the pathname of a possible mount point
184or of a device (with or without
185.Pa /dev/
186prepended to it).
187If the pathname is a directory or a file,
188.Fn getmntpoint
189checks to see if the mount point currently has a filesystem
190mounted on it.
191If the pathname is a device,
192.Fn getmntpoint
193checks to see if it is currently mounted.
194If there is an associated mount, a pointer to a
195.Vt "struct statfs"
196is returned.
197The returned result is stored in a static buffer that is over-written
198each time the
199.Fn getmntpoint
200function or the
201.Xr getmntinfo 3
202library routine is called.
203If no mount is found, NULL is returned.
204.Pp
205The
206.Fn chkdoreload
207function takes a pointer to a
208.Vt "struct statfs" .
209If the filesystem associated with the mount point is mounted read-only,
210.Fn chkdoreload
211requests the filesystem to reload all of its metadata from its backing store.
212The second parameter is the function to call to print an error message
213if the reload fails.
214If no error message is desired, a
215.Dv NULL
216can be passed as the second argument.
217The
218.Fn chkdoreload
219function returns zero on success or non-zero on failure.
220.Pp
221The
222.Fn build_iovec
223function adds a parameter to a list of parameters to be passed to the
224.Xr nmount 2
225system call.
226The parameter list is built up in
227.Va iov
228and its length is kept in
229.Va iovlen .
230Before the first call to
231.Fn build_iovec ,
232.Va iov
233should be set to
234.Dv NULL
235and
236.Va iovlen
237should be set to 0.
238The parameter name is passed in
239.Va name .
240The value of the parameter name is pointed to by
241.Va val .
242The size of the value is passed in
243.Va len .
244If the value is a string, a
245.Va len
246of -1 is passed to indicate that the length should be determined using
247.Xr strlen 3 .
248If the parameter has no value,
249.Va name
250should be
251.Dv NULL
252and
253.Va len
254should be 0.
255.Pp
256The
257.Fn build_iovec_argf
258function adds a formatted parameter to a list of parameters to be passed
259to the
260.Xr nmount 2
261system call.
262The parameter list is built up in
263.Va iov
264and its length is kept in
265.Va iovlen .
266Before the first call to
267.Fn build_iovec_argf ,
268.Va iov
269should be set to
270.Dv NULL
271and
272.Va iovlen
273should be set to 0.
274The parameter name is passed in
275.Va name .
276The value of the parameter name is described by a format string pointed to by
277.Va fmt .
278If the parameter has no value,
279.Va name
280should be
281.Dv NULL .
282.Pp
283The
284.Fn free_iovec
285function frees the memory in the
286.Va iov
287vector of the length specified in
288.Va iovlen
289that was previously allocated by the
290.Fn build_iovec
291and / or
292.Fn build_iovec_argf
293functions.
294The
295.Va iov
296is set to
297.Dv NULL
298and the
299.Va iovlen
300is set to 0 to indicate that the space has been freed.
301.Pp
302The
303.Fn checkpath
304function uses
305.Xr realpath 3
306to verify that its
307.Va path
308argument is valid and references a directory.
309The
310.Fn checkpath
311function returns zero on success or non-zero on failure.
312.Pp
313The
314.Fn rmslashes
315function removes all double slashes and trailing slashes from its
316.Va rrpin
317pathname parameter and returns the resulting pathname in its
318.Va rrpout
319parameter.
320.Sh EXAMPLES
321Most commands will use the standard option set.
322Local file systems which support the
323.Dv MNT_UPDATE
324flag, would also have an
325.Dv MOPT_UPDATE
326entry.
327This can be declared and used as follows:
328.Bd -literal
329#include "mntopts.h"
330
331struct mntopt mopts[] = {
332	MOPT_STDOPTS,
333	MOPT_UPDATE,
334	{ NULL }
335};
336
337	...
338	mntflags = mntaltflags = 0;
339	...
340	getmntopts(options, mopts, &mntflags, &mntaltflags);
341	...
342.Ed
343.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
344If the external integer variable
345.Va getmnt_silent
346is zero, then the
347.Fn getmntopts
348function displays an error message and exits if an
349unrecognized option is encountered.
350Otherwise unrecognized options are silently ignored.
351By default
352.Va getmnt_silent
353is zero.
