VOLMGT_OWNSPATH(3VOLMGT) Volume Management Library Functions

NAME

volmgt_ownspath - check volume management name space for path

SYNOPSIS

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

int volmgt_ownspath(char *path);

PARAMETERS

path
A string containing the path.

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This function is obsolete.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Volume Management feature, including vold, has been replaced by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_ownspath() function checks to see if a given path is
contained in the volume management name space. This is achieved by
comparing the beginning of the supplied path name with the output
from volmgt_root(3VOLMGT)

RETURN VALUES

The return from this function is undefined.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Using volmgt_ownspath()

The following example first checks if volume management is running,
then checks the volume management name space for path, and then
returns the id for the piece of media.


char *path;

...

if (volmgt_running()) {
if (volmgt_ownspath(path)) {
(void) printf("id of %s is %lld\n",
path, media_getid(path));
}
}
