Volume Management Library Functions      volmgt_ownspath(3VOLMGT)



NAME
     volmgt_ownspath - check volume  management  name  space  for
     path

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag]... file... -lvolgmt [library]...
     #include 

     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     This function is obsolete.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     by  the  Volume Management feature, including vold, has been
     replaced by software that supports the Hardware  Abstraction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(5).
     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));
            }
       }
