+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm mntopts
+functions support operations associated with a mount point.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getmntopts
+function takes a comma separated option list and a list
+of valid option names, and computes the bitmask
+corresponding to the requested set of options.
+.Pp
+The string
+.Fa options
+is broken down into a sequence of comma separated tokens.
+Each token is looked up in the table described by
+.Fa mopts
+and the bits in
+the word referenced by either
+.Fa flagp
+or
+.Fa altflagp
+(depending on the
+.Va m_altloc
+field of the option's table entry)
+are updated.
+The flag words are not initialized by
+.Fn getmntopts .
+The table,
+.Fa mopts ,
+has the following format:
+.Bd -literal
+struct mntopt {
+ char *m_option; /* option name */
+ int m_inverse; /* is this a negative option, e.g., "dev" */
+ int m_flag; /* bit to set, e.g., MNT_RDONLY */
+ int m_altloc; /* non-zero to use altflagp rather than flagp */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The members of this structure are:
+.Bl -tag -width m_inverse
+.It Va m_option
+the option name,
+for example
+.Dq Li suid .
+.It Va m_inverse
+tells
+.Fn getmntopts
+that the name has the inverse meaning of the
+bit.
+For example,
+.Dq Li suid
+is the string, whereas the
+mount flag is
+.Dv MNT_NOSUID .
+In this case, the sense of the string and the flag
+are inverted, so the
+.Va m_inverse
+flag should be set.
+.It Va m_flag
+the value of the bit to be set or cleared in
+the flag word when the option is recognized.
+The bit is set when the option is discovered,
+but cleared if the option name was preceded
+by the letters
+.Dq Li no .
+The
+.Va m_inverse
+flag causes these two operations to be reversed.
+.It Va m_altloc
+the bit should be set or cleared in
+.Fa altflagp
+rather than
+.Fa flagp .
+.El
+.Pp
+Each of the user visible
+.Dv MNT_
+flags has a corresponding
+.Dv MOPT_
+macro which defines an appropriate
+.Vt "struct mntopt"
+entry.
+To simplify the program interface and ensure consistency across all
+programs, a general purpose macro,
+.Dv MOPT_STDOPTS ,
+is defined which
+contains an entry for all the generic VFS options.
+In addition, the macros
+.Dv MOPT_FORCE
+and
+.Dv MOPT_UPDATE
+exist to enable the
+.Dv MNT_FORCE
+and
+.Dv MNT_UPDATE
+flags to be set.
+Finally, the table must be terminated by an entry with a
+.Dv NULL
+first element.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getmntpoint
+function takes the pathname of a possible mount point
+or of a device (with or without
+.Pa /dev/
+prepended to it).
+If the pathname is a directory or a file,
+.Fn getmntpoint
+checks to see if the mount point currently has a filesystem
+mounted on it.
+If the pathname is a device,
+.Fn getmntpoint
+checks to see if it is currently mounted.
+If there is an associated mount, a pointer to a
+.Vt "struct statfs"
+is returned.
+The returned result is stored in a static buffer that is over-written
+each time the
+.Fn getmntpoint
+function or the
+.Xr getmntinfo 3
+library routine is called.
+If no mount is found, NULL is returned.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn chkdoreload
+function takes a pointer to a
+.Vt "struct statfs" .
+If the filesystem associated with the mount point is mounted read-only,
+.Fn chkdoreload
+requests the filesystem to reload all of its metadata from its backing store.
+The second parameter is the function to call to print an error message
+if the reload fails.
+If no error message is desired, a
+.Dv NULL
+can be passed as the second argument.
+The
+.Fn chkdoreload
+function returns zero on success or non-zero on failure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn build_iovec
+function adds a parameter to a list of parameters to be passed to the
+.Xr nmount 2
+system call.
+The parameter list is built up in
+.Va iov
+and its length is kept in
+.Va iovlen .
+Before the first call to
+.Fn build_iovec ,
+.Va iov
+should be set to
+.Dv NULL
+and
+.Va iovlen
+should be set to 0.
+The parameter name is passed in
+.Va name .
+The value of the parameter name is pointed to by
+.Va val .
+The size of the value is passed in
+.Va len .
+If the value is a string, a
+.Va len
+of -1 is passed to indicate that the length should be determined using
+.Xr strlen 3 .
+If the parameter has no value,
+.Va name
+should be
+.Dv NULL
+and
+.Va len
+should be 0.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn build_iovec_argf
+function adds a formatted parameter to a list of parameters to be passed
+to the
+.Xr nmount 2
+system call.
+The parameter list is built up in
+.Va iov
+and its length is kept in
+.Va iovlen .
+Before the first call to
+.Fn build_iovec_argf ,
+.Va iov
+should be set to
+.Dv NULL
+and
+.Va iovlen
+should be set to 0.
+The parameter name is passed in
+.Va name .
+The value of the parameter name is described by a format string pointed to by
+.Va fmt .
+If the parameter has no value,
+.Va name
+should be
+.Dv NULL .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn free_iovec
+function frees the memory in the
+.Va iov
+vector of the length specified in
+.Va iovlen
+that was previously allocated by the
+.Fn build_iovec
+and / or
+.Fn build_iovec_argf
+functions.
+The
+.Va iov
+is set to
+.Dv NULL
+and the
+.Va iovlen
+is set to 0 to indicate that the space has been freed.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn checkpath
+function uses
+.Xr realpath 3
+to verify that its
+.Va path
+argument is valid and references a directory.
+The
+.Fn checkpath
+function returns zero on success or non-zero on failure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn rmslashes
+function removes all double slashes and trailing slashes from its
+.Va rrpin
+pathname parameter and returns the resulting pathname in its
+.Va rrpout
+parameter.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Most commands will use the standard option set.
+Local file systems which support the
+.Dv MNT_UPDATE
+flag, would also have an
+.Dv MOPT_UPDATE
+entry.
+This can be declared and used as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+#include <mntopts.h>
+
+struct mntopt mopts[] = {
+ MOPT_STDOPTS,
+ MOPT_UPDATE,
+ { NULL }
+};
+
+ ...
+ mntflags = mntaltflags = 0;
+ ...
+ getmntopts(options, mopts, &mntflags, &mntaltflags);
+ ...
+.Ed
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+If the external integer variable
+.Va getmnt_silent
+is zero, then the
+.Fn getmntopts
+function displays an error message and exits if an
+unrecognized option is encountered.
+Otherwise unrecognized options are silently ignored.
+By default
+.Va getmnt_silent
+is zero.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn getmntopts
+function appeared in
+.Bx 4.4 .
+The
+.Fn build_iovec ,
+.Fn build_iovec_argf ,
+.Fn free_iovec ,
+.Fn checkpath ,
+and
+.Fn rmslashes
+functions were added with
+.Xr nmount 2
+in
+.Fx 5.0 .
+The
+.Fn getmntpoint
+and
+.Fn chkdoreload
+functions were added in
+.Fx 13.2 .
+.Pp
+Historically, these functions were found in
+.Pa getmntopts.c
+in the source code of the
+.Xr mount 8
+program.
+As of
+.Fx 15.0
+they are part of
+.Nm libutil .
