.Dd $Mdocdate: May 31 2007 $ .Dt READLABELFS 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm readlabelfs .Nd read disklabel filesystem type .Sh SYNOPSIS n util.h .Ft char * .Fn readlabelfs "char *device" "int verbose" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn readlabelfs function attempts to determine the filesystem type of the disk partition specified by .Fa device and returns it in a short form that can be easily used to construct arguments within .Xr mount 8 and similar high-level filesystem utilities.

p If the .Fa verbose argument is not 0, .Fn readlabelfs will print appropriate error messages before returning. Otherwise, it produces no output on the terminal. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn readlabelfs returns .Dv NULL upon error, or a valid filesystem type upon success. .Sh HISTORY .Fn readlabelfs first appeared in .Ox 2.0 .
