VOLMGT_FEATURE_ENABLED(3VOLMGT) Volume Management Library Functions

NAME

volmgt_feature_enabled - check whether specific Volume Management
features are enabled

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -l volmgt [ library ... ]
#include <volmgt.h>


int volmgt_feature_enabled(char *feat_str);

DESCRIPTION

This function is obsolete. The management of removable media by the
Volume Management feature, including vold, has been replaced by
software that supports the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).
Programmatic support for HAL is through the HAL APIs, which are
documented on the HAL web site. See hal(7). The return value of this
function is undefined.


The volmgt_feature_enabled() routine checks whether specific volume
management features are enabled. volmgt_feature_enabled() checks for
the volume management features passed in to it by the feat_str
parameter.


Currently, the only supported feature string that
volmgt_feature_enabled() checks for is floppy-summit-interfaces. The
floppy-summit-interfaces feature string checks for the presence of
the libvolmgt routines volmgt_acquire() and volmgt_release().

RETURN VALUES

The return from this function is undefined.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: A sample of the volmgt_feature_enabled() function.

In the following example, volmgt_feature_enabled() checks whether
the floppy-summit-interfaces feature is enabled.


if (volmgt_feature_enabled("floppy-summit-interfaces")) {
(void) printf("Media Sharing Routines ARE present\n");
} else {
(void) printf("Media Sharing Routines are NOT present\n");
}
