shoelace源代码分析之disktab

下面是disktab.doc文件中的一部分说明

The following entries are used:

     Name Type Description

     se  num  Number of bytes per sector

     ns  num  Number of sectors per track

     nt  num  Number of tracks per cylinder

     md  num  Media description byte

     fp  str  Floppy parameter table

下面是/etc/disktab文件

可见对于硬盘来说，shoelace支持的硬盘有一些限制：se为512既是每扇区为512字节。

下面是laceup.c文件中和disktab文件相关的代码：

  disktabfilename = findfile(DISKTABFILE);

  if ((fake_env[0] = (char *) malloc(sizeof(termcapenv)-1 +

                     strlen(disktabfilename) + 1)) == 0) {

    fputs("No room for termcap environment entry\n", stderr);

    exit(1);

  }

  strcpy(fake_env[0], termcapenv);

  strcat(fake_env[0], disktabfilename);

  environ = &fake_env[0];

  switch (tgetent(disktab, disktype)) {

  case 0:

    fprintf(stderr, "Disk type %s not found in %s\n",

            disktype, strchr(fake_env[0], '=')+1);

    exit(1);

  case -1:

    fprintf(stderr, "%s not found\n", strchr(fake_env[0], '=')+1);

    exit(1);

  }
