README

This here is a small and simple shared c library that implements two
functions inspired by the BSD libc (and one other):

1. statfs_ext()

This is the same as the standard linux statfs() call except the struct 
returned has a few more useful fields added, namely, strings containing
the filesystem type, the mount point, and the device file (if a block
device) else just another representation of the type. These are the 
values gleaned from the first three fields in entries from 
/proc/mounts. 

2. getfsstat_linux()

This is an implementation of the BSD getfsstat() call, which returns an 
array of statfs_ext structs, one for every mounted file system.

and 3. getmntpt()

This function returns the mount point for the device or ramdisk or 
whatever for any file or directory PATH that exists on a currently 
mounted FS..

Please note that binary-compatibility may break often while the library
is young as I flesh out the functions and lock down the public interface.
I will be using semantic numbering (ie: 1.a.b), so 'b' version bumps
will be backwards compatible, while 'a' version bumps may not be.

I expect I will change this to use statvfs() soon enough.
