LIBRARY
System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)
SYNOPSIS
#include <util.h>
const char *
getfsspecname(char *buf, size_t buflen, const char *spec);
DESCRIPTION
The
getfsspecname() function translates an
fs_spec field in the
spec argument of the form “NAME=wedgename” to the underlying
dk(4) device node, and places the resulting pathname in
buf up to len
bufsiz.
If the spec argument is not of the form “NAME=wedgename”, spec is copied to buf and returned.
RETURN VALUES
On success the absolute pathname of the underlying wedge device is returned, or the original spec argument. On failure NULL is return and buf contains the reason for the error.
HISTORY
The getfsspecname() function appeared in NetBSD 7.0.
