I want to call the mount() function to perform the same action as running t=
he following mount command from the command line:
mount -t ufs -o noatime /dev/adXXX /mnt
The man page lists the signature of mount() as
int mount(const char *type, const char *dir, int flags, voi=
d *data);
The problem is that the last parameter, data, apparently has to be in a spe=
cial structure based on the file system type and it does not describe what =
this structure is for ufs. It says "The format for these argument structure=
s is described in the manual page for each file system", then it follows th=
is up saying that there is no man page for ufs?
I did some searches but could not find a single example of what needs to be=
plugged into this parameter. Can anyone fill in the missing info?
