Function list (Bold in this list means a function is not static)

/* t_mount.c

   Demonstrate the use of mount(2) to create a mount point.

   Usage: as described in usageError()

   Examples:
        t_mount -t ext3 /dev/sda12 /testfs

        t_mount -t ext2 -f r -o nogrpid /dev/sda9 /mydir ext2
                (The "r" for flags specifies that the file system
                is to be mounted read-only.)

   This program is Linux-specific.

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
