GETFSSPECNAME(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual GETFSSPECNAME(3)
NAME
getfsspecname - get the underlying wedge name from a label
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 buflen.
If the spec argument starts with "ROOT.", a path in the form
"/dev/[root_device][suffix]" is copied to buf, where [root_device] is the
value of the "kern.root_device" sysctl and [suffix] is the characters
following "ROOT." in the spec argument.
If the spec argument is not of the form "NAME=wedgename" and it doesn't
start with "ROOT.", 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 returned and
buf contains the reason for the error.
