NAME BSD::Getfsent - Get file system descriptor file entry SYNOPSIS use BSD::Getfsent qw(getfsent); while (@entry = getfsent()) { print "@entry\n"; } FUNCTIONS getfsent In list context, each file system entry is returned ("getfsent()" continuously reads the next line of the /etc/fstab file). The list returned is structured as follows: $entry[0] # block special device name $entry[1] # file system path prefix $entry[2] # type of file system $entry[3] # comma separated mount options $entry[4] # rw, ro, sw, or xx $entry[5] # dump frequency, in days $entry[6] # pass number on parallel fsck In scalar context, total of entries is returned. FILES /etc/fstab EXPORT "getfsent()" is exportable. BUGS & CAVEATS "BSD::Getfsent" was, as it name suggests, developed for BSD-like systems. It may be nevertheless suitable for other UNIX-like systems, including Linux, but remains untested. Bear in mind, that tests will fail if no /etc/fstab can be found (in order that testing on systems like Windows, where no /etc/fstab exists, doesn't result in a false positive).
