sysfs - get filesystem type information
int sysfs(int option, const char *fsname);
int sysfs(int option, unsigned int fs_index, char *buf);
int sysfs(int option);
Note: if you are looking for information about the sysfs filesystem that is normally mounted at /sys, see sysfs(5).
The (obsolete) sysfs() system call returns information about the filesystem types currently present in the kernel. The specific form of the sysfs() call and the information returned depends on the option in effect:
The numbering of the filesystem type indexes begins with zero.
On success, sysfs() returns the filesystem index for option 1, zero for option 2, and the number of currently configured filesystems for option 3. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
SVr4.
This System-V derived system call is obsolete; don't use it. On systems with /proc, the same information can be obtained via /proc/filesystems; use that interface instead.
There is no libc or glibc support. There is no way to guess how large buf should be.
