Crate sys_mount

High level abstraction over the mount and umount2 system calls.

Additionally creates loopback devices automatically when mounting an iso or squashfs file.

Example

extern crate sys_mount;
 
use std::process::exit;
use sys_mount::{
    Mount,
    MountFlags,
    SupportedFilesystems,
    Unmount,
    UnmountFlags
};
 
fn main() {
    // Fetch a list of supported file systems.
    // When mounting, a file system will be selected from this.
    let supported = SupportedFilesystems::new().unwrap();
 
    // Attempt to mount the src device to the dest directory.
    let mount_result = Mount::new(
        "/imaginary/block/device",
        "/tmp/location",
        &supported,
        MountFlags::empty(),
        None
    );
 
    match mount_result {
        Ok(mount) => {
            // Make the mount temporary, so that it will be unmounted on drop.
            let mount = mount.into_unmount_drop(UnmountFlags::DETACH);
            // Do thing with the mounted device.
        }
        Err(why) => {
            eprintln!("failed to mount device: {}", why);
            exit(1);
        }
    }
}

Structs

Mount	Handle for managing a mounted file system.
MountFlags	Flags which may be specified when mounting a file system.
SupportedFilesystems	Data structure for validating if a filesystem argument is valid, and used within automatic file system mounting.
UnmountDrop	Unmounts the underlying mounted device upon drop.
UnmountFlags	Flags which may be specified when unmounting a file system.

Enums

FilesystemType

Defines how the file system type should be derived for a mount -- auto or manual

Traits

Unmount

Unmount trait which enables any type that implements it to be upgraded into an UnmountDrop.

Functions

unmount

Unmounts the device at path using the provided UnmountFlags.
