[rox-devel] Re: Method for dealing with AVFS

[Peter <sw...@ho...>]

Here's a small program that accomplishes what I want. It's been about 100
years since I wrote C code, but it illustrates what I want to do.

I envision something like this residing in mount.c and return the
character string that is found, or a "". It will be called from the
open_vfs_avfs function in menu.c and the result prepended to the call to
filer_change_to. Something like this???

	gchar *avfs_path;

	avfs_path = getavfs_path(); /* new function in mount.c */

	path = g_strconcat(avfs_path, filer_window->sym_path,
			"/", item->leafname, "#", NULL);

	filer_change_to(filer_window, path, NULL);

This would accomplish setting the true path for virtual access to avfs.

Then, in mount.c, add something like this program as a function.

/* stupid program to try and guess where avfs is hiding!
 * will try avfs and try coda
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <mntent.h>


main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
	struct mntent *info;
	FILE *mtab_file;

	/* _PATH_MOUNTED is default mtab file
	 * at least with my libc
	 */
	mtab_file = setmntent( _PATH_MOUNTED, "r" );
	
	if ( mtab_file == NULL )
		printf("%s\n", "Error, something bad happened!");

	/* Loop through MTAB. If neither the
	 * avfsd or coda device is present, then
	 * continue reading mtab.
	 * If either IS found, then just print out
	 * the device and path
	 */
	
	while ( info = getmntent( mtab_file ) )
	{
		if ( strcmp( "avfsd", info->mnt_fsname ) &&
		strcmp( "coda", info->mnt_fsname ) )
			continue;
		printf( "%s\t%s\n", info->mnt_fsname, info->mnt_dir );
	}

	endmntent( mtab_file );

}
	
However, Joanatan's workaround of setting a run action for all compressed
files also works fine :)
