VFS_ROOTMOUNTALLOC(9)

💖 VFS_ROOTMOUNTALLOC(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a Kernel Developer's Manual page, section 9 — yes, the big-kid section, the kernel-functions one 👑

✨ NAME ✨

vfs_rootmountalloc — allocate a root mount structure 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>

int
vfs_rootmountalloc(char *fstypename, char *devname, struct mount **mpp);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, vfs_rootmountalloc() allocates a mount structure, right? and it's initialized from the vfsconf type that matches fstypename. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it finds the matching vfsconf type, uses it to set up the mount structure, and hands it back to you. 💅

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

• if it ate, 0 is returned and mpp points to the newly allocated mount structure 🎉
• if it did not eat, ENODEV comes back — and that happens when fstypename is NULL or invalid 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• vfsconf(9)
