identifies this filesystem implementation. Typical values might be
"romfs", "msdos", "ext2" etc.</P

filesystem operations that apply to files and directories as whole
objects. The operation implemented by each function should be obvious
from the names, with a few exceptions:</P
><P
>The <TT

>opendir()</TT
> function pointer opens a directory
for reading. See <A

> for details.</P
><P
>The <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>getinfo()</TT

various minor control and information functions such as

>.</P
><P
>With the exception of the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>mount()</TT
> and
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>umount()</TT
> functions, all of these functions
take three standard arguments, a pointer to a mount table entry (see
later) a directory pointer (also see later) and a file name relative
to the directory. These should be used by the filesystem to locate the
object of interest.</P
