Each token is looked up in the table described by .Ar mopts and the bits in the word referenced by .Ar flagp are updated. The flag word is not initialized by .Fn getmntopts . The table, .Dv mopts , has the following format: .Bd -literal struct mntopt { char *m_option; /* option name */ int m_inverse; /* is this a negative option, eg "dev" */ int m_flag; /* bit to set, eg MNT_RDONLY */ }; .Ed .Pp The members of this structure are: .Bl -tag -width m_inverse .It Fa m_option The option name, for example .Dq suid . .It Fa m_inverse Tells .Fn getmntopts that the name has the inverse meaning of the bit. For example, .Dq suid is the string, whereas the mount flag is .Dv MNT_NOSUID . In this case, the sense of the string and the flag are inverted, so the .Dv m_inverse flag should be set. .It Fa m_flag The value of the bit to be set or cleared in the flag word when the option is recognized. The bit is set when the option is discovered, but cleared if the option name was preceded by the letters .Dq no . The .Dv m_inverse flag causes these two operations to be reversed. .El .Pp Each of the user visible .Dv MNT_ flags has a corresponding .Dv MOPT_ macro which defines an appropriate .Li "struct mntopt" entry. To simplify the program interface and ensure consistency across all programs, a general purpose macro, .Dv MOPT_STDOPTS , is defined which contains an entry for all the generic VFS options. In addition, the macros .Dv MOPT_FORCE and .Dv MOPT_UPDATE exist to enable the .Dv MNT_FORCE and .Dv MNT_UPDATE flags to be set. Finally, the table must be terminated by an entry with a NULL first element. .Sh EXAMPLES Most commands will use the standard option set. Local filesystems which support the .Dv MNT_UPDATE flag, would also have an .Dv MOPT_UPDATE entry. This can be declared and used as follows: .Bd -literal #include "mntopts.h" struct mntopt mopts[] = { MOPT_STDOPTS, MOPT_UPDATE, { NULL } }; ... mntflags = 0; ... getmntopts(options, mopts, &mntflags) ... .Ed .Sh DIAGNOSTICS The .Fn getmntopts function displays an error message and exits if an unrecognized option is encountered. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr err 3 , .Xr mount 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn getmntopts function appeared in .Bx 4.4 .
