LIBUFS(3) Library Functions Manual LIBUFS(3) NAME libufs -- operate on UFS file systems from userland LIBRARY UFS File System Access Library (libufs, -lufs) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/mount.h> #include <ufs/ufs/ufsmount.h> #include <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> #include <ufs/ffs/fs.h> #include <libufs.h> DESCRIPTION The libufs library and the functions it provides are used for implementing utilities which need to access a UFS file system at a low level from user- land. Facilities provided are used to implement utilities such as newfs(8) and dumpfs(8). The libufs library is designed to be simple, and to provide functions that are traditionally useful to have. A disk is represented as the type struct uufsd as defined in <libufs.h>. The structure is filled out, operations are performed, and the disk is closed. ERRORS Functions provided by libufs return -1 in every functional error situation. They also set the d_error field of struct uufsd to a string describing the error.
