Crate sys_mount

Expand description

High level abstraction over the mount and umount2 system calls.

If the loop feature is enabled (default), additionally supports creating 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::builder()
        .fstype("btrfs")
        .data("subvol=@home")
        .mount("/dev/sda1", "/home");

    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.
MountBuilder: Builder API for mounting devices
MountFlags: Flags which may be specified when mounting a file system.
Mounts: An abstraction that will ensure that temporary mounts are dropped in reverse.
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
ScopedMountError

Traits§

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