NAME

getfilesystem - print the filesystem of the current working directory

 

SYNOPSIS

edrc/lib/getfilesystem

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/edrc

 

DESCRIPTION

With getfilesystem the filesystem (special file) is printed where the current working directory is located on.

This output is basically identical to: 


df -k . | awk 'END{print $1}'    # Solaris, Linux
bdf . | awk 'END{print $1}'      # HP-UX
xbdf . | awk 'END{print $1}'     # all
but is much faster especially if there are large file systems on HP-UX.

getfilesystem is used internally by pkg_hostname where fast filesystem resolving is important.
