Function

getmntent invokes the w_getmntent callable service to get information about the mounted file systems, or a specific mounted file system, and return the formatted information in a stem variable.

Parameters

stem

The name of a stem variable used to return the mount table information. The stem has two dimensions: the field name, followed by a period and the number of the mount table entry. For example, you can access the file system name for the first entry in the mount table as stem.mnte_fsname.1.

For the field name, you can specify a numeric value (see REXX predefined variables) or the predefined variable beginning with MNTE_ used to derive the appropriate numeric value. For example, you could use stem.mnte_fsname.1 or stem.6.1 to access the file system name for the first entry:

Variable	Description
MNTE_AGGNAME	The name of the zFS aggregate data set.
MNTE_BYTESREADHW	The number of bytes read (high-word value).
MNTE_BYTESREADLW	The number of bytes read (low-word value).
MNTE_BYTESWRITTENHW	The number of bytes written (high-word value).
MNTE_BYTESWRITTENLW	The number of bytes written (low-word value).
MNTE_DD	The ddname specified on the mount.
MNTE_DEV	The device ID of the file system.
MNTE_DIRIBC	The number of directory I/O blocks.
MNTE_FILETAG	The file tag.
MNTE_FROMSYS	The file systems are to be moved from here.
MNTE_FSNAME	The file system name that was specified on the mount. This statement applies only to HFS and zFS. The file system name is the name of the MVS™ data set that contains the HFS or zFS file system.
MNTE_FSTYPE	The file system type.
MNTE_MODE	The file system type mount method. MNTE_MODE contains a decimal number that corresponds to the value as defined in the field mntentfsmode in the BPXYMNTE mapping macro. The REXX predefined variables for this field, as well as other fields on this interface, are a subset of what might be returned by the getmntent service. You can specify a numeric value (see REXX predefined variables) or one of the following predefined variables used to derive the appropriate numeric value. For example, there is no predefined rexx variable corresponding to the bit position defined by mntentfssynchonly in the mntentfsmode. MNT_MODE_RDWR File system mounted read-write. MNT_MODE_RDONLY File system mounted read-only. MNT_MODE_AUNMOUNT The file system can be unmounted if the system's owner crashes. MNT_MODE_CLIENT The file system is a client. MNT_MODE_EXPORT The file system exported by DFS. MNT_MODE_NOAUTOMOVE Automove is not allowed. MNT_MODE_NOSEC No security checks are enforced. MNT_MODE_NOSETID SetUID is not permitted for files in this filesystem. MNT_MODE_SECACL ACLs are supported by the security product
MNTE_PARDEV	The ST_DEV of the parent file system.
MNTE_PARM	The parameter specified with mount().
MNTE_PATH	The mountpoint pathname.
MNTE_PFSSTATUSNORMAL	Normal status string returned by the physical file system.
MNTE_PFSSTATUSEXCP	Exception status string returned by the physical file system.
MNTE_ROSECLABEL	Default security label for objects in a read-only file system.
MNTE_QJOBNAME	The job name of the quiesce requestor.
MNTE_QPID	The PID of the quiesce requestor.
MNTE_QSYSNAME	The name of the quiesce system name.
MNTE_READCT	The number of reads from filesys.
MNTE_READIBC	The number of read I/O blocks.
MNTE_RFLAGS	The request flags.
MNTE_ROOTINO	The inode of the mountpoint.
MNTE_ROSECLABEL	The read-only SECLABEL.
MNTE_STATUS	The status of the file system. To specify the information, you can specify a numeric value (see REXX predefined variables) or one of the following predefined variables used to derive the appropriate numeric value: MNT_ASYNCHMOUNT Asynchronous mount in progress for this file system. MNT_FILEACTIVE File system is active. MNT_FILEDEAD File system is dead. MNT_FILEDRAIN File system is being unmounted with the drain option. MNT_FILEFORCE File system is being unmounted with the force option. MNT_FILEIMMED File system is being unmounted with the immediate option. MNT_FILENORM File system is being unmounted with the normal option. MNT_FILERESET File system is being reset. MNT_IMMEDTRIED File system unmount with the immediate option failed. MNT_MOUNTINPROGRESS Mount in progress for this file system MNT_QUIESCED File system is quiesced.
MNTE_STATUS2	The status of the file system.
MNTE_SUCCESS	Successful moves.
MNTE_SYSLIST	A list of system names.
MNTE_SYSNAME	The name of the owning system.
MNTE_TYPE	The file system type.
MNTE_UID	The effective UID of the nonprivileged user who mounted this file system. MNTE_UID is always 0 for the file system mounted by the privileged user.
MNTE_WRITECT	The number of writes done.
MNTE_WRITEIBC	The number of write I/O blocks.

devno

An optional parameter, this is the device number for a specific file system for which you want the mount information. Specifying 0 is the equivalent of not specifying a device number.

pathflag

An optional parameter, this specifies the returned path names.

0

Returns the current path name.

1

Returns up to 64 bytes of the path name at the time of the mount.
