mnt_copy_fs ()

struct libmnt_fs *
mnt_copy_fs (struct libmnt_fs *dest,
             const struct libmnt_fs *src);

If dest is NULL, then a new FS is allocated, if any dest field is already set, then the field is NOT overwritten.

This function does not copy userdata (se mnt_fs_set_userdata()). A new copy is not linked with any existing mnt_tab.

mnt_free_fs ()

void
mnt_free_fs (struct libmnt_fs *fs);

Deallocates the fs. This function does not care about reference count. Don't use this function directly -- it's better to use mnt_unref_fs().

The reference counting is supported since util-linux v2.24.

mnt_free_mntent ()

void
mnt_free_mntent (struct mntent *mnt);

Deallocates the "mntent.h" mount entry.

mnt_ref_fs ()

void
mnt_ref_fs (struct libmnt_fs *fs);

Increments reference counter.

mnt_unref_fs ()

void
mnt_unref_fs (struct libmnt_fs *fs);

De-increments reference counter, on zero the fs is automatically deallocated by mnt_free_fs().

int
mnt_fs_append_attributes (struct libmnt_fs *fs,
                          const char *optstr);

Four attempts are possible: 1) compare source with fs->source 2) compare realpath(source ) with fs->source 3) compare realpath(source ) with realpath(fs->source ) 4) compare realpath(source ) with evaluated tag from fs->source

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th attempts are not performed when cache is NULL. The 2nd and 3rd attempts are not performed if fs->source is tag.

mnt_fs_match_target ()

int
mnt_fs_match_target (struct libmnt_fs *fs,
                     const char *target,

Possible are three attempts: 1) compare target with fs->target

2) realpath(target ) with fs->target

3) realpath(target ) with realpath(fs->target ) if fs is not from /proc/self/mountinfo.

However, if mnt_cache_set_targets(cache, mtab) was called, and the path target or fs->target is found in the mtab , the canonicalization is is not performed (see mnt_resolve_target()).

The 2nd and 3rd attempts are not performed when cache is NULL.

                        const char *optstr);

Parses (splits) optstr and prepends the results to VFS, FS and userspace lists of options.

If optstr is NULL, then fs is not modified and 0 is returned.

The attributes are managed by libmount in userspace only. It's possible that information stored in userspace will not be available for libmount after CLONE_FS unshare. Be careful, and don't use attributes if possible.
