struct libmnt_fs

struct libmnt_fs;

Parsed fstab/mtab/mountinfo entry

mnt_copy_fs ()

struct libmnt_fs *  mnt_copy_fs                         (struct libmnt_fs *dest,
                                                         const struct libmnt_fs *src);

If dest is NULL, then a new FS is allocated, if any dest field is already set, then the field is NOT overwritten.

This function does not copy userdata (se mnt_fs_set_userdata()). A new copy is not linked with any existing mnt_tab.

mnt_free_fs ()

void                mnt_free_fs                         (struct libmnt_fs *fs);

Deallocates the fs. This function does not care about reference count. Don't use this function directly -- it's better to use use mnt_unref_fs().

The reference counting is supported since util-linux v2.24.

mnt_free_mntent ()

void                mnt_free_mntent                     (struct mntent *mnt);

Deallocates the "mntent.h" mount entry.

mnt_unref_fs ()

void                mnt_unref_fs                        (struct libmnt_fs *fs);

De-increments reference counter, on zero the fs is automatically deallocated by mnt_free_fs().
