File Formats mnttab(4)
NAME
mnttab - mounted file system table
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/mnttab is really a file system that provides
read-only access to the table of mounted file systems for
the current host. /etc/mnttab is read by programs using the
routines described in getmntent(3C). Mounting a file system
adds an entry to this table. Unmounting removes an entry
from this table. Remounting a file system causes the infor-
mation in the mounted file system table to be updated to
reflect any changes caused by the remount. The list is main-
tained by the kernel in order of mount time. That is, the
first mounted file system is first in the list and the most
recently mounted file system is last. When mounted on a
mount point the file system appears as a regular file con-
taining the current mnttab information.
Each entry is a line of fields separated by <TAB>s in the
form:
special mount_point fstype options time
where:
special The name of the resource that has been
mounted.
mount_point The pathname of the directory on which the
filesystem is mounted.
fstype The file system type of the mounted file
system.
options The mount options. See respective mount file
system man page in the SEE ALSO section
below.
time The time at which the file system was
mounted.

Examples of entries for the special field include the path-
name of a block-special device, the name of a remote file
system in the form of host:pathname, or the name of a swap
file, for example, a file made with mkfile(1M).
IOCTLS
The following ioctl(2) calls are supported:
MNTIOC_NMNTS
Returns the count of mounted resources in the current
snapshot in the uint32_t pointed to by arg.
MNTIOC_GETDEVLIST
Returns an array of uint32_t's that is twice as long as
the length returned by MNTIOC_NMNTS. Each pair of
numbers is the major and minor device number for the
file system at the corresponding
line in the current /etc/mnttab snapshot. arg points to
the memory buffer to receive the device number informa-
tion.
MNTIOC_SETTAG
Sets a tag word into the options list for a mounted file
system. A tag is a notation that will appear in the
options string of a mounted file system but it is not
recognized or interpreted by the file system code. arg
points to a filled in mnttagdesc structure, as shown in
the following example:
uint_t mtd_major; /* major number for mounted fs */
uint_t mtd_minor; /* minor number for mounted fs */
char *mtd_mntpt; /* mount point of file system */
char *mtd_tag; /* tag to set/clear */
If the tag already exists then it is marked as set but
not re-added. Tags can be at most MAX_MNTOPT_TAG long.
Use of this ioctl is restricted to processes with the
{PRIV_SYS_MOUNT} privilege.

MNTIOC_CLRTAG
Marks a tag in the options list for a mounted file sys-
tem as not set. arg points to the same structure as
MNTIOC_SETTAG, which identifies the file system and tag
to be cleared.
Use of this ioctl is restricted to processes with the
{PRIV_SYS_MOUNT} privilege.
ERRORS
EFAULT The arg pointer in an MNTIOC_ ioctl
call pointed to an inaccessible
memory location or a character
pointer in a mnttagdesc structure
pointed to an inaccessible memory
location.
EINVAL The tag specified in a MNTIOC_SETTAG
call already exists as a file system
option, or the tag specified in a
MNTIOC_CLRTAG call does not exist.
ENAMETOOLONG The tag specified in a MNTIOC_SETTAG
call is too long or the tag would
make the total length of the option
string for the mounted file system
too long.
EPERM The calling process does not have
{PRIV_SYS_MOUNT} privilege and
either a MNTIOC_SETTAG or
MNTIOC_CLRTAG call was made.

WARNINGS
The mnttab file system provides the previously undocumented
dev=xxx option in the option string for each mounted file
system. This is provided for legacy applications that might
have been using the dev=information option.
Using dev=option in applications is strongly discouraged.
The device number string represents a 32-bit quantity and
might not contain correct information in 64-bit environ-
ments.
Applications requiring device number information for mounted
file systems should use the getextmntent(3C) interface,
which functions properly in either 32- or 64-bit environ-
ments.
NOTES
The snapshot of the mnttab information is taken any time a
read(2) is performed at offset 0 (the beginning) of the
mnttab file. The file modification time returned by stat(2)
for the mnttab file is the time of the last change to
mounted file system information. A poll(2) system call
requesting a POLLRDBAND event can be used to block and wait
for the system's mounted file system information to be dif-
ferent from the most recent snapshot since the mnttab file
was opened.
