Message-ID: <16377@brl-adm.ARPA> Date: 4 Jul 88 07:43:31 GMT Sender: news@brl-adm.ARPA Lines: 12 Please forgive what is probably a childishly simple question. Given a complete path, how do I determine if that path identifies the mount point of a file system (from within a C program). So far the only solution I can find is to read the system mount table. It seems as if there should be a simpler way but I can't seem to find one in my programmer reference manual. Thanks in advance for any help. Please send replies to me and I will summarize to the list if interest warrents. Frank Peters
