Crate libmount [−] [src]

libmount

This library has two major goals:

  1. Add type-safe interface for mount() system call
  2. Add very good explanation of what's wrong when the call fails

So we have two error types:

  1. Holds mount info and errno
  2. Other that is returned by .explain() from the first.

Note: you need to explain as fast as possible, because during explain library makes some probes for different things in filesystem, and if anything changes it may give incorrect results.

You should always explain() the errors, unless you are trying lots of mounts for bruteforcing or other similar thing and you are concerned of performance. Usually library does stat() and similar things which are much faster than mount anyway. Also explaining is zero-cost in the success path.
